2.3  Card Installation

This section shows you how to install and remove line cards.

• Install management switch cards in slot 8 and/or 9 on the IES-6000. You can use either 

slot if there is only one management switch card.

• Install the line cards in the IES-6000 in the other slots.

• Leave the slot covers on unused slots.

2.3.1  Installing MSC and Line Cards

Use the following procedure to install management switch cards and line cards in the main 
chassis.

1

Grasp the center of the front panel of the card with one hand and place the other hand 
under the card to support it.

2

Insert the card halfway into the slot and spread the two ejector levers outward. Make 
sure the ejector levers are perpendicular to the front panel.

3

Slide the card into the slot until it makes contact with the backplane. The ejector levers 
should be at a small angle to the front panel now.

4

Push the two ejector levers firmly until they are flush with the front panel.

5

Tighten the two thumbscrews.
