Readying the Cards
Systems can be shipped with empty slots with filler cards or with plug-in cards installed. If filler cards
are installed in any of the slots, they need to be replaced with functional cards. Remove, replace, and
install front and back cards as necessary to obtain the correct configuration.
Warning
Before handling any cards, ground yourself by clipping the wrist strap that is supplied with
MGX 8220 shelf to a convenient metallic contact on the shelf and to your wrist. This simple
procedure prevents static electrical damage to the cards.
Note Both the front card and the back card of all card sets in the shelf must be present for proper operation
of the shelf.
If a back card is removed and reseated or changed for another back card, the associated front card
must be reset.
Removing and Installing the Front Cards
When seated, MGX 8220 front cards are retained by a mechanical latch attached to the card. (See
Figure 7-21.)
Figure 7-21 Front Card Insertion/Extractor Lever
To remove a front card, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Insert a small flathead screwdriver into the slot in the insertion/extractor lever and press until the latch
springs open, approximately 10°. Continue to lift the insertion/extractor lever to disconnect the
connector.
Step 2 Gently pull the card out of the card cage.
