Installing and removing the interface card
CAUTION:
• Before you install or remove an interface card, wear an ESD wrist
strap and make sure the wrist strap makes good skin contact and is
reliably grounded.
• To avoid device damage, do not use excessive force when you
install or remove an interface card.
Prepare the following tools before you install or remove an interface
card:
• Phillips screwdriver.
• Flat blade screwdriver.
• ESD wrist strap.
The installation tools are not provided with H3C devices. Prepare them
yourself.
Installing the interface card
This guide uses the S5130-30C-HI switch as an example.
To install the interface card:
1. Use the Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw on the filler panel in
the target interface card slot, as shown by callout 1 in Figure 2.
K
eep the removed screw secure for future use.
2. Insert the flat blade screwdriver through the handle on the filler
panel to pull out the filler panel, as shown by callout 2 in Figure 2.

eep the removed filler panel secure for future use.
3. Unpack the interface card.
4. Insert the interface card slowly into the slot along the guide rails, as
shown by callout 1 in Figure 3.
5. Rotate in
ward the ejector lever on the card as shown by callout 2
in Figure 3
until the interface card is in close contact with the switch.
6. Use the Phillips screwdriver to tighten the captive screw on the
interface card as shown by callout 3 in Figure 3.

Removing the interface card
CAUTION:
• Before you remove the interface card, remove the cable from it.
• If you are not to install a new interface card after removin
g
the old
one, install a filler panel in the empty interface card slot. This
prevents dust from entering the switch and maintains good
ventilation in the switch.
To remove an interface card:
1. Prepare an anti-static bag.
2. Use the Phillips screwdriver to loosen the captive screw on the
interface card, as shown by callout 1 in Figure 4.
3. Rotate out
ward the ejector lever as shown by callout 2 in Figure 4.
4. Pull out the inte
rface card slowly out the interface card slot as shown
by callout 3 in Figure 4.
5. Pl
ace the removed interface card in the anti-static bag.
