How to Install or Remove a Physical Layer Interface Module
Required Tools and Equipment
You need the following tools to perform this task:
• ESD-preventive wrist strap
• Medium Phillips screwdriver
Steps
To remove a PLIM, follow these steps:
Step 1 Attach the ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect its leash to an ESD connection socket
on the front (PLIM) side or a bare metal surface on the chassis.
Step 2 Identify the card to be replaced.
Step 3 Loosen the two captive screws holding the card in place.
Step 4 Grasp the two card ejector levers and simultaneously pivot both ejector levers 90 degrees (70 degrees for
a newer PLIM) away from the front edge of the card carrier to unseat the card from the backplane
connector.
