Line Interface Card Replacement
The Octel Overture 200/300 line interface cards (4- and 8-port LIC, ILC12, and DLC16) installed in shelf
A are designed to be hot plugged; that is, the message server does not need to be turned OFF to remove
or install the cards.
.
The message server must be restarted if a line interface card is added or if the replacement card is
not the same as the card removed.
Caution!
No more than one line card at a time can be removed
or installed with the power ON; the ports must be
forwarded before removing the line card.
Removing Line Cards

1. Unlock and open the door of the cabinet.
2. Put on an antistatic wrist strap. Connect it to an unpainted portion of the cabinet.
3. Forward the Octel Overture 200/300 ports being replaced.
To forward ports, at the @ prompt, type
CD x y z
In this command, x is the slot, y is the first port in the card, and z is the last port in the card.
.
You can also use the command TE C 1 x y to forward the ports.
4. Disengage the line card from the motherboard by pivoting the plastic card ejectors at the top and
bottom of the front edge of the line card.
5. Slide the line card out of the card cage.
.
Handle the line card only by the top and bottom edges. Do not touch any components on the
line card.
