a) Hold the front of the module with one hand and place your other hand under the module to support its
weight.
b) Align the back of the module to the guides in the open line card slot and slide the module all the way into
the slot (see the following figure).
The module stops when its front is about 0.25 inches (0.6 cm) outside the front of the chassis. Press the
ejector buttons and the two levers move part way to the front of the chassis.

c) Rotate the ends of the two levers toward the center of the chassis.
When the levers point straight out from the chassis, their other ends should be locked onto the brackets
on the side of the chassis.
As you rotate the levers, the front of the module moves all the way to the front of the chassis and the
module fully seats on the chassis.
d) Tighten the two captive screws to 8 in-lb (0.9 Nm) torque.
e) Attach each interface cable to the appropriate port on the line card. Use the label on each cable to determine
which port each cable attaches to.
f) Verify that the line card LEDs turn on and appear green.
