This section describes the following card installation procedures:
• To install NTIO cards
• To install NT cards
• To install LT cards
• To remove cards
• To change the NGFC-G card
19.6.1 General
When installing cards in a new installation, install the NTIO card first. Allow the NT 
IO card to initialize and come into service before installing NT or 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 dummy front panels) 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-4.
Warning —  For the 7360 ISAM FX-4, installation of NTIO cards 
must be performed prior to installation of NT cards.
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.
