Installing the Ethernet Line Cards

This section contains the installation procedure for the Ethernet line cards.
The illustrations show the AT-SBx31GP24 Line Card, but the procedure is
the same for all the cards.

Note

Please review “Guidelines to Handling the Controller and Line
Cards” on page 116 b
efore performing this procedure:

This procedure requires the following tools:

#2 Phillips-head screwdriver

#2 Phillips-head, 5 inch-lbs torque screwdriver (optional)

To install the Ethernet line cards, perform the following procedure:

1. Choose a slot in the chassis for the Ethernet line card. Ethernet line

cards may be installed in slots 0 to 3. You may also use slot 5 for an
additional Ethernet line card if the chassis has only one controller card.
(Slot 4 is reserved for the controller card.).

2. Remove the line card from the shipping package. If it is missing or

damaged, contact your Allied Telesis sales representative for
assistance.

Note

Store the packaging material in a safe location. You should use the
original shipping material if you need to return the unit to Allied
Telesis.

3. Carefully remove the Ethernet line card from the anti-static bag. Refer

to Figure 79 on page 125.
