3.3.1 Installing MSC and Line Cards
Use the following procedure to install management switch cards and DSL line cards in the
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.
