Installing RPMs and Line Cards

WARNING: Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or foot-heel ground strap

when handling RPMs or line cards. Place RPMs and line cards on an antistatic

surface when they are not installed. ESD damage can occur when components

are mishandled.

CAUTION: Unlock the levers before inserting the line card into the chassis.

Fully engage the locking mechanism after the card has been inserted; not

doing so might damage the card below it when you insert that lower card.

cards. To simplify RPM and line card installation, insert the fan tray before the line

cards.
