Installing a card
IMPORTANT:
•
The gateway comes with no blank filler panels on some card slots. The figures in this document
are for illustration only.
•
The switching fabric modules of the M9010, M9010-GM, and M9014 have protection boxes when
shipped. Before you install a switching fabric module, pull the ejector levers on the module
outwards, and then pull the module out of the protection box.
The installation procedures for MPUs, interface modules, service modules, and switching fabric
modules are the same. Unless otherwise stated, MPUs, interface modules, service modules, and
switching fabric modules are collectively referred to as "cards" in this document.
These cards are either horizontally oriented or vertically oriented. When installing a card in a
horizontal slot, make sure its PCB faces up. When installing a card in a vertical slot, make sure its
PCB faces left.
This section takes installing a horizontally oriented card as an example.
To install a horizontally oriented card:
1.
Select the slot to install the card, and remove the blank filler panel (if any) from the slot.
2.
Hold the card by the front panel with one hand and support the card bottom with the other. Slide
the card steadily into the slot along the guide rails, as shown in callout 1 on
.
3.
When most part of the card is inserted in the slot, press the ejector levers on the card outward,
as shown in callout 2 on
.
4.
Push the card until the positioning pin on card touches the hole on the chassis.
5.
As shown in callout 3 on
, press the ejector levers inward until the ejector levers touch
the panel tightly and the card seats into the backplane
6.
As shown in callout 4 on
, fasten the captive screws on the card.
