5.2 Removing and installing an 8-port line card
Each 8-port line card has a pair of handles that lock the card in place and serve
as a lever for inserting or removing the line card. The handles snap toward the
middle when installed.
To remove an 8-port line card or the monitoring line card, use the following
procedure:
1. Press the red tabs to unlock the handles (Figure 5-1).
Figure 5-1: Unlocking Switch Card Handles
2. Turn both handles outward together. You should be able to see and feel
the lever action as the front panel of the line card is ejected toward you
(Figure 5-2).
