Removing and Installing a Line Card Avoid contact between the Ethernet line cards and clothing. The wrist strap protects the board from ESD voltages on the body only; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage. Warning For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the ESD strap. The measurement should be between 1 and 10 megohms. Required Tools and Equipment You need the following tools and parts to remove and install Ethernet line cards: Flat-blade or Phillips screwdriver

OIR is seamless to users on the network, maintains all routing information, and ensures session preservation. Note With OIR, notifying the software or resetting the power is not required. However, you have the
