Before replacing any card (board) in the BIC or AIC, power down RFN equipment in the 
following order using circuit breakers on the PDU: 

• 

BIC 

• 

AIC 

• 

RBS 1 (power down RBS 2 and RBS 3 if they are present) 

• 

RF Shelves 1, 2 and 3 

Always use a static grounding wrist strap before handling any board—do not attach the wrist 
strap to any painted surface on the chassis unit. 

Facing the chassis unit, remove the BPC that is to be replaced, or the blank faceplate, 
following these guidelines: 

•  Loosen the blue knurled knobs on both sides of the board. 
•  Pull firmly on the tabs located on the bottom of the BPC you are replacing. 
•  Gently slide the BPC straight out and away from the chassis unit so as not to damage 

any components contained on the board. 

Remove the BPC from its antistatic packaging and insert it into the chassis unit as shown in 
the following illustration, 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. 

•  Press firmly to seat the board into the connectors within the chassis unit. 
•  Tighten the blue knurled knobs on each end of the board finger tight only—do not use a 

screwdriver to tighten the screws and do not over tighten.
