442 Chapter 39 Hardware procedures
NN10600-175 6.1S2
Procedure steps
1 Disconnect any cables from the FP faceplate. See the figure “Types of
cable connectors used on Multiservice Switch processor cards”
(page 355).
If you are removing an FP that uses optical connections, cap the optical
ports with an appropriate dust boot.
2 Unlock the upper and lower card latches. See the figure “Locking and
unlocking processor card latches” (page 324).
3 Move both latches to a fully horizontal position and use the latches to pull
the FP card out of the slot. Refer to the figure “Disengaging a processor
card” (page 325).
4 Pack the FP according to “Packing a processor card” (page 386). This
applies whether a failed FP is being returned to Nortel Networks or the
card is being re-deployed.
CAUTION
Risk of equipment damage
When engaging or disengaging cable connectors, ensure
that the cable connector’s guide ridge is aligned with the
transceiver’s keyway. Improper coupling can damage the
nose shield on the connector or the optic transceiver.
CAUTION
Risk of equipment damage
To prevent equipment damage, disconnect the cables
attached to the ports of an FP before you disconnect the
control cable that connects the FP to a termination panel.
WARNING
Damage to equipment by electromagnetic interference
To meet electromagnetic interference (EMI) regulatory
requirements and thermal specifications, each empty slot
must be filled with a blank processor card (NTBP23). See
“Installing a blank processor card” (page 243).
