E600i RPMs The E300 system requires the installation of at least one RPM, although two are recommended for redundancy. RPMs are designed to be installed in either the R0 or R1 slot. Do not force RPMs into line card slots. RPMs are keyed differently than line cards to prevent improper installation. Line Cards Your E600i configuration requires a minimum of one line card. Line cards are hot swappable. Installing the RPMs and Line Cards CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous laser exposure. NOTE: Line cards are hot swappable. Step Task 1 Hold the card by the edges. Avoid touching the printed circuit board and connector pins. 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) A minimum of four SFMs are required in order for the E600i system to operate properly. There is an additional slot available for a redundant SFM. NOTE: If you are not operating the system with SFM redundancy, install a blank panel in the unused slot. 22 Installing the Hardware
