7.6 Installation procedures
This section describes the following card installation procedures:
• To install NT cards
• To install NTIO cards
• To install LT cards
• To remove cards
7.6.1 General
When installing cards in a new installation, install the NT card(s) first. Allow the NT 
cards to initialize and come in service before installing the LT cards. When replacing 
an LT card, verify that the NT card is in service before inserting the LT card.
The NT and LT dummy panels (or filler plates) must be installed in any unused, 
unpopulated NT or LT card slot in order to maintain proper operation. Filler plate units 
have no electronic components; they are mechanical units used to provide ESD/EMI 
seal and thermal seal in the 7360 ISAM FX-16.
Warning —  Unplugging and reseating the active NT card in 
less than 3 seconds may result in an approximately 1 minute 
service interruption while the NT cards negotiate active/
standby state during initialization. Wait at least 5 seconds 
before reseating an unplugged active NT card.
Note 1 — Redundant NT cards must be provisioned first before 
they are installed. See the appropriate product Operations and 
Maintenance Guide to configure an NT card and to configure 
NT redundancy.
Note 2 — The following steps must be followed if the NTIO 
board (FNIO-A) is moved to a new shelf:
• plan the NTIO board in the new shelf
• reset the shelf
• plug in the NTIO board
See Operations and Maintenance Guide for FD 100/320 Gbps 
NT and FX NT for planning information.
