General Card Replacement Guidelines
General Card Replacement Guidelines
Introduction This section describes guidelines for installing and replacing hardware components
and cards into the Vanguard 7300 enclosure.
Note
These card installation guidelines apply to all Vanguard 7300 Series routers.
Hot-Swapping
Cards and Modules All hardware, with the exception of the CPU card, supports insertion and removal
with the power on.
Note
Vanguard 7300 software does not support hot-swapping. Although you can insert
or remove an interface card with the power on, a system reset always is required,
which impacts data.
Hot-swap cards and modules are clearly identified in this chapter.

Only qualified Service personnel should perform the following procedure. Use of
this procedure by unqualified personnel could result in personal injury or equipment
damage, and could jeopardize your warranty and maintenance agreement.

maintenance.

Card-Handling
Considerations Caution is required in the removal and insertion of any Compact PCI card or
transition module. Chassis slot card guides are designed to permit card removal and
insertion of components without damage to components or pin connectors, as shown
in Figure 5-1. However, careful handling is required to ensure proper seating of card
and modules and to prevent bent pins.
General card replacement procedures are described in the following sub-section. For
card-specific removal and replacement procedures, refer to the specific card
description in the following sections of this chapter.
