I/O Card Replacement
I/O cards ARE designed to be hot swappable and are easily installable, though it is recommended to install or
replace them while power is OFF.
Removal
Unscrew completely the 2 thumbscrew locks of the card to be removed
Using the thumbscrews, gently but firmly pull the card straight out until it is completely free of the switch.
You may have to gently rock the card side-to-side to get it unplugged
Install a new card or a slot filler plate (
Figure C-2
)
Installation
With the copper strip facing upwards, align the sides of the card with the channels in the chassis
Gently but firmly slide the card through the channels, keeping the card straight
Continue until the edge connector slides into the backplane of the switch
Be cautious not to force the card in
.
Hand tighten the 2 thumbscrew locks of the card to the switch
If the thumbscrews are not properly tightened, the I/O card may fail to power-up.
This is a safety-interlock and hot-swap feature
– do not attempt to defeat it.
We recommend power cycling the switch after installation of an I/O card.
