Installing a core switch blade (CR16-8)
Attention:
Follow ESD precautions (see “ESD precautions” on page xix)
whenever handling blades.
Note: The CR16-8 blade is compatible only with the SAN768B-2.
Complete the following steps to install a CR16-8 core switch blade.
1. Open the ejectors by rotating them toward the center of the blade face. Orient
the CR blade so that the handles are toward you and the flat metal side is on
your left.
2. Align the flat side of the core switch blade inside the lower and upper blade
guides in the slot. Slide the core switch blade into the slot until it is firmly
seated.
3.
Close the ejectors by rotating them away from the center of the blade. The
levering action of the ejectors seats the blade in the slot.
4. Power on the blade by screwing in the thumbscrews.
5.
Verify that the power LED is green (this might require a few seconds). If not,
ensure that the core switch blade has power and is firmly seated and that the
ejectors are in the locked position.
