a) Make sure that you have cleared the configuration for the original line card from the chassis database using steps under
Removing a line card on page 103.
b) Enter the linecard slot_number command followed by a question mark (?) to display the current line card types.
c) Enter the linecard slot_number linecard_type command using the proper line card type for the new line card.
d) Enter the exit command twice to return to privileged EXEC mode.
2. Unpack the new line card and remove it from the anti-static bag.
3. Inspect the line card for damage.
4. Remove the protective covers from the backplane connectors.
5. Orient the line card so that the ports are at the front of the device.
6. Open the ejectors by rotating them toward the center of the line card face and align the flat side of the line card inside the top
and bottom rail guides in the slot. Line cards can be inserted in any of the slots labeled L1 through L8.
7. Slide the line card all the way into the slot.
8. Close the ejectors by rotating them away from the center of the line card. The levering action of the ejectors seats the line card
in the slot.
9. Tighten the captive screws using the Phillips screwdriver.
10. Check to see if the line card has powered on. If not, power on the line card using the power-on linecard
slot_number command.
Verify that the power LED on the line card is displaying a steady green light. If it does not turn on, ensure that the line card is
firmly seated.
The status LED on the line card will show amber until POST completes for the line card. It should then turn off. If it remains
amber, the line card may not be properly seated in the backplane or the line card may be faulty.
11. If you have replaced a line card with a line card of a different type, follow these steps:
a)
Save the configuration persistently by issuing the copy running-config startup-config command after the interface module
reaches the online state.
b) Verify the configuration by issuing the show running-config linecard linecard command.
12. Reinstall the transceivers and cables in the line card or install new transceivers and cables if you have installed a different type
of line card.
13. Group and route the cables through the cable management device.
