3.3.2
Installing Line Cards
Before installing the RS 3000 into an equipment rack, it is recommended that you first install any expansion line cards
that you may have ordered with the unit. Installing expansion line cards before rack mounting will prevent the need to
remove the RS 3000 from its rack and remove the mounting hardware from the RS 3000 chassis.
Line Card Differences
While the process for installation is essentially the same for all line cards, there are a few differences between a few
line cards that affect installation process. The following lists these differences:
•
All line cards use one of two types of face plates: a “standard” face plate or an “extended,”
EMI-protective face plate (see
). Each of these face plates must be installed in a slightly
different manner.
•
The Multi-rate WAN line card is designed differently from other line cards, and requires the removal
of certain hardware components from inside the RS 3000 chassis (see
).
Installing Standard and Extended Face Plate Line Cards
There are two types of face plates for line cards: a standard face plate (shipped with most line cards) and an extended,
EMI-protective face plate (shipped with certain line cards). The standard face plate is shaped somewhat like the
expansion slot cover. The extended, EMI-protective face plate has an extended bottom surface (see
). The
following procedure explains how to install line cards that use either the standard or extended face plate.
Warning
Always use proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) gear when handling line
cards or other internal parts of the RS 3000.
1.
Make sure that the RS 3000 is powered off.
2.
If rack mounted, remove the RS 3000 from the equipment rack.
3.
If the RS 3000 is equipped for rack mounting, use the #2 Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the
mounting brackets from each side of the chassis.
4.
Use the #2 Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the four screws that hold the top cover on the
RS 3000 (see
Figure 3-1 Removing the RS 3000’s cover
5.
Slide the cover away from the front of the RS 3000
about one-half inch (
1/2”), then lift the cover
away. Be careful not to damage or remove any EMI gaskets around the edges of the cover.
