Installing a new T1 Smart Blade or Smart Blade card

Step 1

Ensure that the system is powered down. If you are installing a new T1 Smart Blade or Smart Blade card

steps in the

“Preparing for the repair” section on page 5-2

Step 3

Holding the T1 Smart Blade or Smart Blade card by the levers, partially insert the card into the slot,
about half way.

Step 4

Verify that the T1 Smart Blade or Smart Blade card is properly seated in the guides, top and bottom. If
not, remove the card and try again.

Step 5

Pushing gently and firmly on the T1 Smart Blade or Smart Blade card’s face plate, slide the card into the
slot until you encounter significant resistance. At this point, the levers should be in contact with the
chassis rails so they will grab when pushed inward.

Step 6

Use the ejector levers to seat the T1 Smart Blade or Smart Blade card in the slot by closing the levers
toward one another until they are in the horizontal locked position. See

Figure 5-21

Step 7

Secure the T1 Smart Blade or Smart Blade card by tightening the captive screws at the top and bottom
of the panel. See
