Installing a PTX10000 Line Card
Before you install a line card in the router chassis:
•
Ensure that you have taken the necessary precautions to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage.
See “Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge Damage” on page 427.
•
Ensure that you know how to handle and store the line card. See “Unpacking PTX10000 Line Cards,
Routing Control Boards, and Switch Interface Boards” on page 200.
•
Inspect the connector edge of the line card for physical damage. Installing a damaged line card might
damage the router.
•
Ensure that the router has sufficient power to power the line card while maintaining its n+1 power
redundancy. To determine whether the router has enough power available for the line card, use the
show chassis power-budget-statistics command.
