Step Task 8 Check that the over-current protector (located on the PEM front panel) is in the OFF position. Energize the remote power source. The Voltage LED should be green. If it is amber, the -48 VDC and Return cables are connected incorrectly or are reversed. Installing RPMs, Line Cards, and SFMs Unpacking Cards WARNING: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur when components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or footheel ground strap when handling RPMs, SFMs, or line cards. Connect your ESD strap to the grounding plug located on the front of the chassis. See Figure 2 for ESD strap connector location. After you remove the original packaging, place RPMs, SFMs, and line cards on an antistatic surface. CAUTION: Do not supply power to your system until the power supplies and fan tray(s) are installed and verified, and RPMs, SFMs, line cards, and any blank panels are installed. Blank Panels CAUTION: To avoid a chassis over-temperature condition, install blanks for RPMs, SFMs, and line card slots not in use. Always replace cards or blanks immediately. Blank panels for RPMs, SFMs, and line cards must be installed in empty slots to control airflow. Blank panels are shipped with the system to ensure that all chassis slots are installed with operational modules or blanks. E300 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. 20 Installing the Hardware
