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.

The electronic components on the line cards can be damaged by 
electro-static discharges (ESD). Follow the procedure in “Protecting 
Against Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)” on page 94 to guard against 
ESD damage when unpacking and installing the line cards.

This procedure requires the following tools:



#2 Phillips-head screwdriver (not provided)



#2 Phillips-head, 5 inch-lbs torque screwdriver (optional — not 
provided)

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

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

line cards may be installed in slots 0 to 3 and 6 to 11. The slots are 
shown in Figure 77.

damaged, contact your Allied Telesis sales representative for 
assistance.

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.
