Removing the M7i CFEB and CFEB-E
To remove the CFEB or CFEB-E (see Figure 1):
- Place an electrostatic bag or antistatic mat on a flat, stable surface.
- Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.
- Press and hold the ONLINE/OFFLINE button on the faceplate of the CFEB or CFEB-E until the green OK LED turns off, which takes about 5 seconds.
- Loosen the thumbscrew on each ejector locking tab (shown in M7i Compact Forwarding Engine Board (CFEB) and Enhanced Compact Forwarding Engine Board (CFEB-E) Description), using a Phillips screwdriver if necessary.
- Pull the ends of the ejector handles outward until they are nearly perpendicular to the faceplate of the CFEB or CFEB-E.
- Grasp the ejector handles and pull firmly to slide the CFEB or CFEB-E about halfway out of the chassis.
- Place one hand under the CFEB or CFEB-E to support
it, slide it completely out of the chassis, and place it on the antistatic
mat or in the electrostatic bag.
Caution: When a CFEB or CFEB-E is out of the chassis, do not hold it by the ejector handles. They cannot support its weight.
Do not stack CFEBs or CFEB-Es on top of or under other components. Place each one individually in an electrostatic bag or on its own antistatic mat on a flat, stable surface.
