Dell PowerConnect J-Series J-EX8216 Ethernet Switch Hardware Guide Holding a Line Card You must hold a line card horizontally when installing it in the chassis. You may hold a line card vertically or horizontally when carrying it. CAUTION: The line cards in J-EX8200 switches weigh more than 10 lb (4.5 kg). Be prepared to accept the full weight as you slide the line card into the chassis. To hold a line card vertically: 1. Orient the line card so that the faceplate faces you. To verify the orientation, confirm that the text on the line card is right-side up. 2. Place one hand around the line card faceplate about a quarter of the way down from the top edge. Do not press hard on it. 3. Place the other hand at the bottom edge of the line card. If the line card is horizontal before you grasp it, place your left hand around the faceplate and your right hand along the bottom edge. To hold a line card horizontally: 1. Orient the line card so that the faceplate faces you. 2. Grasp the top edge with your left hand and the bottom edge with your right hand. You can rest the faceplate of the line card against your body as you carry it. CAUTION: Take care not to hit the line card against any object as you carry it. Line card components are fragile. Never hold or grasp the line card anywhere except the places mentioned in these procedures. In particular, never grasp the connector edge (see Figure 81 on page 177). 176
