Installation Instructions
The E300 system line cards are hot-swappable. You can add, replace, or remove a line card without interrupting
the system power or system operations. No additional configuration is necessary if you insert a new line card into
a slot occupied by a blank panel or if you hot-swap identical line card types.

Inserting a line card into an E300
Installation Notes:
• Do not remove a blank panel from the chassis until you are ready to install a line card into that slot. If
you remove a line card, immediately fill the empty slot with a blank. Blanks are required to control
airflow and electromagnetic interference.
• Line cards fit only in chassis slots 0 through 5. Chassis slots R0 and R1 are designed for the route
processor modules (RPMs).
• If you replace an existing line card with a different series line card, you must configure the system with
the updated line card information.
Step
Task
1
Hold the line card by the edges. Avoid touching the printed circuit board and connector pins. Extend the
right and left line card levers before you insert the line card into the slot.
Align the line card with the right and left line card guides and gently slide the line card into the slot until
you feel the connectors engage with the chassis backplane.
2
Rotate the levers to seat the backplane connectors and lock the line card in place.
3
Secure the line card in place by tightening the right and left screws on each line card, using a #2 Phillips
screwdriver.
