Removing a T640 PC Card

The PC Card is located in the slot labeled PC CARD on the Routing Engine. To remove the PC Card (see Figure 1):

1. Place an electrostatic bag or antistatic mat on a flat, stable surface.
2. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.
3. Remove the Routing Engine cover by loosening the captive screws on the corners of its faceplate.
4. On the Routing Engine faceplate, press the eject button on the right side of the PC Card slot once to release the button. Press again to release the PC Card.

   Note: The Routing Engine in your router might have two PC Card slots. In this case, use either slot. Do not install more than one PC Card in the Routing Engine.

5. The PC Card pops partially out of the slot. Grasp the card and pull it completely out of the slot.
6. Place the PC Card on the antistatic mat.
7. If you are not replacing the PC Card now, reinstall the Routing Engine cover and tighten the screws on the corners of the cover to secure it to the chassis.
