So put in chassis 2 again nothing, presumed card was DOA. We were struggling for answers as our supplier is one of the best there is. Looking at the amphenol connector on the card noticed very slight disconnect at far left near power connector. We then peered inside and realised both of the chassis had damaged pins . Supervisor has gone for repair, waiting for verdict on fixability and we corrected the pins in the chassis with a just a screw driver (plus torch). Its easy to do you just have to be patient and use a gradual technique. Focus on the worst pin and just give it a tiny prod with the screw-driver and note the amount of movement. Keep correcting the worst pin until they are very closely aligned to the position. When you insert the next card in the slot it will correct everything 100%. This is why you should never use above a certain level of force when inserting a line-card, as you are in effect pushing against a long row of delicate pins.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10173967101613151731noreply@blogger.com
