The mux/demux motherboards, line card motherboards, and processor cards are

hot-swappable. We recommend installing the processor cards first and then filling

the chassis from slots 0 to 11, left to right. This section describes the procedures

for installing and removing the motherboards and processor cards from the

chassis.

To install a mux/demux motherboard or processor card, follow these steps:

Remove the failed motherboard, processor card, or filler motherboard from the

shelf. See the

"Removing Mux/Demux Motherboards and Processor Cards"

section on page

2-22.

Take the new motherboard or processor card from the shipping container.

Insert the motherboard or processor card carefully into the chassis slot while

guiding the upper and lower edges of the motherboard or processor card in the

tracks until its connectors come into contact with the backplane.

Use your thumb and forefinger of each hand to simultaneously push the

motherboard or processor card in until it is fully seated in the backplane

connector.

Use a 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver to tighten the captive installation screws.

After the system is powered up, you can check the LEDs to ensure proper

installation. See

Save the filler motherboards with the packaging material.
