Extend the left and right card levers before you insert the card into the slot. 2 Align the card with the guide and gently slide it into the slot until you feel the connectors engage with the chassis backplane. 3 Rotate the levers to seat the backplane connectors and line card in place. 4 Secure card and blanks in place by tightening the left and right captive screws on each card. 5 Follow the same installation procedure for the remaining cards and slots. Installing Switch Fabric Modules (SFMs) Two SFMs are required for the E300 system to operate optimally. Step Task 1 Remove an SFM from the anti-static packaging. Hold the card by the edges. Avoid touching the printed circuit board and connector pins. Extend the card lever before you insert the card into the slot. 2 Align the SFM with the guide and gently slide it into the slot until you feel the connectors engage with the chassis backplane. 3 Rotate the lever to seat the backplane connectors and card in place. 4 Secure each SFM in place by tightening the captive screw. 5 Continue the process for the remaining SFMs. 6 Install blank panels in all unused slots. NOTE: If you are not operating the system with SFM redundancy, install a blank panel in the unused slot. Installing the Hardware 21
