CAUTION: It is important that you retain the packaging and installation order of the cards. Install cards from
right to left, beginning with R1 slot.
To install line cards and RPMs:
NOTE: The blank panels do not have board components or connector pins. Align the blank with the guides
and gently slide toward the backplane.
Installing a Second RPM
NOTE: If your system contains two RPMs, both RPMs must contain the same software image.
Step Task
1 Remove the line card from its box and carefully remove the line card from the anti-static packaging.
2 Align the RPM with the guide and gently slide it into the slot until you feel the connectors engage with the chassis
backplane.
NOTE: Hold the card by the edges. Avoid touching the printed circuit board and connector pins. Extend the
top and bottom card levers before you insert the card into the slot.
3 Remove the card from the box. Remove the card from the anti-static bag.
4 Rotate the levers to seat the backplane connectors and line card in place.
5 Secure card and blanks in place by tightening the top and captive screws on each card.
6 Follow the same installation procedure for the remaining cards and slots, in the appropriate order.
