Inserting a Line Card

The line card is hot-swappable and can be inserted into the Alcatel Wireless 
LAN Switch chassis while system power is on or off. However, removing a line 
card on a live switch is service affecting and all traffic processing will stop until 
the replacement line card is installed and operating.

Make sure you understand the procedure and all precautions.

Before beginning, read the entire procedure. Make sure you understand all the 
precautions in these installation instructions.

Prepare the slot.

The first line card should be installed in Slot 2 of the Alcatel Wireless LAN 
Switch chassis. A second optional line card can be installed in Slot 3, and a 
third in Slot 1. A line card cannot be installed in Slot 0.

If you are replacing a previously installed module, first see 

“Removing a Line 

Card”

.

To install a module in a previously empty bay, remove the blank cover plate 
first. To do this, use a #2 Phillips or cross-head screwdriver to loosen both of 
the fastening screws on the blank cover place. The screws loosen with 
counter-clockwise rotation, but are captive and cannot be fully removed.

Carefully insert the line card into the chassis slot.

Hold the line card by the handle. Align the rear of the card with the guide-rails 
in the chassis slot and gently slide the module toward the backplane. Do not 
force the module; it should slide in easily most of the way.

C

AUTION

This procedure should be performed only by a trained 

technician.

C

AUTION

Be sure to exercise proper Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) pre-

cautions when handling components.

C

AUTION

If installing a line card in Slot 1, make sure that the fastening 

screws for the module in the slot above it are fully secured. If the 
module in Slot 3 is loose, it could interfere with the new module 
insertion and possibly damage the components.
