shown in Figure 58, and follow these guidelines:
Do not jam the board in any way while inserting it.
Do not mount the board in any orientation other than that specified in the diagram.
Insert the board straight into the chassis unit so as not to damage any components
contained on the board.

6 Using the breakers on the PDU, turn up the BIC, AIC and RBS 1 (and RBS 2 if
present), and then verify that the components are operational before proceeding.
Wait approximately 3 minutes for the following indicators:
RBS: The STATUS LED for each group will turn green in this order: A, B and then C.
RBS: The RADIOBLADE TRANSCEIVER STATUS LEDs will turn red and then green
for each present RadioBlade transceiver. If no RadioBlade transceiver is present, the
LED will not light. To verify the contents of the RBS, pull out the shelf (powering off is
not required) and inspect the RadioBlade transceivers and their respective status
LEDs. Reinsert the RBS. To do this, press up on one side rail locking arm and press
down on the other side rail locking arm, and then push the unit into the rack. For an
illustration of the locking arms, refer to Figure 62 on page 94.

7.9.4 RadioBlade Transceiver Replacement
The MC-Series system supports hot swapping of RadioBlade transceivers. This means
replacement of a RadioBlade transceiver can be done while the system is live and does
not require a system reset. When RadioBlade transceivers are hot swapped, no alarm is
generated. Rather, a RadioBlade transceiver lock / unlock event is placed in the System-
Manager Event Log.

Each RadioBlade transceiver is shipped wrapped in antistatic packaging, along with a
lockdown strap and screw for securing the RadioBlade transceiver in the RadioBlade
Shelf (RBS).

Note: Use an SMA torque wrench (such as the Huber & Suhner 742-0-0-21 SMA torque
wrench) for removing and installing RadioBlade transceivers.
