Caution: Unlock the levers before inserting the line card into the chassis. Fully engage the
locking mechanism once the card has been inserted; not doing so will cause damage to the card
below when that card is inserted.
Warning: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur when components are mishandled.
Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or foot-heel ground strap when handling line cards. Place
line cards on an antistatic surface when they are not installed.
