6 SwitchBlade Line Card
C613-04030-01 REV H
The switch may overheat or be damaged by dust and debris if bays are left
uncovered.
To remove an existing line card:
Loosen the line card’s two Phillips screws until they disengage from the
chassis.
Move the line card ejector levers to the unlocked position (see Figure 2 on
page -6).
Slide the line card out of the chassis, keeping the card in a straight alignment
so it doesn’t jam.

6. Insert the new line card
Make sure the line card’s metal back-panel is aligned with the card guides
(see Figure 3 on page -7).
Line cards are mounted vertically in the SwitchBlade 8 (AT-SB4108) chassis and
horizontally in the SwitchBlade 4 (AT-SB4104) chassis.
With the ejector levers in the unlocked position (see Figure 2 on page -6),
carefully slide the line card into the chassis.
When inserting a line card, take care to slide the card’s metal back-panel along
both guides at an equal rate. If a line card becomes tight, it must not be forced.
Instead, gently withdraw the card and try again, taking extra care to keep the
card aligned with the card guides. Forcing a misaligned or jammed line card is
likely to damage the card or chassis.
The ejectors’ locking mechanisms should align with their slots in the
chassis (see Figure 4 on page -7).
