ESD Caution: During installation, maintenance, and/or removal, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the components. Failure to do so could result in damage to electrical components and could potentially void your warranty.
Important: Before you remove and replace an application card on an active system, refer to the System Administration and Configuration Reference for instructions on how to migrate or switch processes and services to a redundant (standby) card.
Caution: To avoid damaging the card’s interlock switch, ensure that it is completely down prior to proceeding. Refer to the
Product Overview Guide for additional information.
In addition, to minimize the risk of data loss, ensure that all LEDs on the packet processing card are completely off and that SMCs have stopped blinking prior to removing the card from the chassis.
Important: If the card just removed from the chassis was an SMC, proceed to the
Removing and Replacing the CompactFlash Memory Card section later in this chapter.
Caution: To avoid damaging the card’s interlock switch, ensure that it is completely down prior to proceeding. Refer to the
Product Overview Guide for additional information.
In addition, take extra caution when installing packet processing cards. These cards contain heat sinks that could become loose or damaged if they come into contact with another card while the packet processing card is being inserted in the chassis slot.
