•
Ensure that you have taken the necessary precautions to prevent Electrostatic Discharge
Damage (ESD) damage (see “Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge Damage on J-EX
Series Switches” on page 230).
•
If there are any transceivers installed in the line card, remove them before you install
the line card. For instructions on removing transceivers, see “Removing a Transceiver
from a J-EX Series Switch” on page 168.
• Ensure that you know how to handle and store the line card (see “Handling and Storing
Line Cards in J-EX8200 Switches” on page 175).
•
Ensure the switch has sufficient power to power the line card while maintaining its N+1
or N+N power configuration:
• To determine the power requirements of the line card, see “Power Requirements for
J-EX8216 Switch Components” on page 82.
•
To determine if the switch has enough available power for the line card, use the
show
chassis power-budget-statistics
command.
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to install a line card in the
switch:
• ESD grounding strap
•
Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2
To install a line card in the switch (see Figure 54 on page 125):
1.
Attach the ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist and connect the strap to the ESD
point on the switch chassis (see Figure 53 on page 124).

2.
If the line card slot has a cover panel on it, use the screwdriver to remove the captive
screws on each side of the cover panel. Save the cover panel and the screws for later
use.
CAUTION: Do not lift the line card by holding the ejector levers on the
faceplate or the edge connectors. The levers cannot support the weight
of the line card. Lifting the line cards by the levers might bend them. Bent
levers prevent the line cards from being properly seated in the chassis.
3.
Taking care not to touch line card components, pins, leads, or solder connections,
remove the line card from its bag.
