Installing the M7i CFEB and CFEB-E

To install the CFEB or CFEB-E (see Figure 1):

1. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.
2. Verify that the ends of the ejector handles are pulled outward to a position nearly perpendicular to the faceplate of the CFEB or CFEB-E.
3. Place one hand under the CFEB or CFEB-E to support it and grasp one of the ejector handles at the front with the other hand.
4. Align the rear of the CFEB or CFEB-E with the guides inside the chassis and slide it in completely.
5. Press the ejector handle at each end of the CFEB or CFEB-E inward.
6. Tighten the thumbscrew on each ejector locking tab (shown in M7i Compact Forwarding Engine Board (CFEB) and Enhanced Compact Forwarding Engine Board (CFEB-E) Description) to seat the CFEB or CFEB-E firmly in the chassis.
7. Press and hold the ONLINE/OFFLINE button on the CFEB or CFEB-E faceplate until the green OK LED lights steadily.

   You can verify correct CFEB or CFEB-E functioning by issuing the show chassis cfeb command described in Maintaining the M7i CFEB and CFEB-E.
