procedure:
Step 1
Position the shipping container and pallet facing the front of chassis. Remove the foam strips on the
sides, front and rear.
Step 2 Remove the card retaining bracket from the front of the chassis by unscrewing the four Phillips screws.
This bracket is used to retain the boards during shipping.
Step 3
Remove the Air Intake Grill and all front and rear cards from the shelf and temporarily set them aside
as follows:
a.
Locate the small access hole in the top center of the front Air Intake Grille below the card slots.
Figure 7-6
shows the location.
b.
Insert a small slotted blade screwdriver (0.20/0.25 inch blade width) into the access hole until it
stops (approximately 1 inch).
c. Carefully rotate the screwdriver approximately a quarter turn in either direction. The top of the Air
Intake Grille should spring out.

Remove Air Intake Grille.
Caution Ground yourself before handling BPX switch cards by placing a wrist strap on your wrist and
clipping the strap lead to the cabinet.
e. To remove the cards, rotate the extractor handles at the top and bottom of each card to release the
card and slide it out.
