Line Card Handling Guidelines
Line cards use high-density XBOW connectors that interface with the midplane pins.
If these connectors are damaged, the pins of the midplane connector can also be
damaged upon line card insertion.
You must inspect the line card chassis, retainer bolts, and connectors before installing
the line card into the switch chassis.
Caution –
Lift line cards by their handles or by their sides. Do not lift line cards by
their XBOW connectors or allow the XBOW connectors to strike any object.

Fabric Card and Line Card Fillers
Where fabric cards and line cards are not installed, a filler must be present. The fillers
help maintain air flow characteristics so as to maintain proper chassis thermal
management.
Line card fillers are empty shells without active components. Holes in the face of a
filler permit restrictive air flow.
