Warning: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur if components are mishandled. Always wear
an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap when handling line cards. Connect the ESD strap to the
grounding plug. Place line cards on an antistatic surface and store in anti-static bags when they are not
installed.

Installation Instructions

The E-Series system line cards are hot-swappable. You can add, replace, or remove a card without interrupting the
system power or system operations. If you insert a new line card into a slot occupied by a blank panel or if you
hot-swap identical card types, no additional configuration is necessary.

Installation Notes:

• Do not remove a blank panel from the chassis until you are ready to install a line card into that slot. If
you remove a card, immediately fill the empty slot with a blank. Blanks are required to control airflow
and electromagnetic interference.

• Line cards fit only in chassis slots 0 through 13 in an E1200/E1200i chassis and slots 0 through 6 in the
E600/E600i chassis. Chassis slots R0 and R1 are designed for the route processor modules (RPMs).

• If you replace an existing line card with a different series line card, you must configure the system with
the updated line-card information.

Install a line card

Step Task

1 Hold the line card by the edges. Avoid touching the printed circuit board and connector pins. Extend the

top and bottom line-card levers before you insert the line card into the slot.

Align the card with the upper and lower card guides and gently slide the card into the slot until you feel
the connectors engage with the chassis backplane.

2

Rotate the levers to seat the backplane connectors and lock the line card in place.

3

Secure the line card in place by tightening the top and bottom screws on each line card, using a #2
Phillips screwdriver.
