1.10.3.2 Inserting a Spine Board
To insert a spine board:
1. Check for foreign objects in or mechanical damage to the chassis spine slots.
2. Check spine mechanics for any noticeable damage or deviations from the pass crite-
rion shown in Figure 42.

3. Check back signal connectors’ integrity. Look for any broken signal dividers or any
deviations from the pass criteria shown in Figure 43 and Figure 44.

When hot-swapping any of the units, it is necessary to wait 1 minute after removing
the defective part before inserting the new part. This is necessary so that the manage-
ment module will start a new cycle checking through the leafs and spines for the FW
versions.
