Installing the IP GW blade

Before installing the IP GW blade into the MSE 8000, read the Safety Information guide that accompanied the MSE 8000 chassis.

Although blades are hot-swappable parts, you must only remove one blade at any time. Remove the power from the MSE 8000, if you need to remove more than one blade at a time.

Before hot-swapping a blade, shut down the blade using the web interface. Do not shut down a blade during a software upgrade or if the blade is processing (for example if a call is taking place).

For information about powering the MSE 8000, refer to the Getting Started Guide that accompanied the chassis.

Step one: Install the IP GW blade into the MSE 8000 chassis

You must install either a blade or a blanking blade in each of the ten positions in the chassis.

The Supervisor blade must be installed into slot 1 of the MSE 8000 chassis.

1Remove the blade or blanking blade from the slot into which you are going to install the IP GW blade:

iUsing a No.1 Phillips screwdriver, loosen the screws in the retaining latches with an anti-clockwise quarter turn.

iiOpen both retaining latches on the front of the blade or blanking blade. When open, a retaining latch is at a 90° angle perpendicular to the front of the blade.

iiiSlide out the blade or blanking blade.

2Open both retaining latches on the front of the IP GW blade. When open, a retaining latch is at a 90° angle perpendicular to the front of the blade.

3Slide the IP GW blade into the blade slot (as shown in Figure 2) until it stops.

4Simultaneously close both retaining latches on the blade (thereby engaging the connectors at the rear of the blade) to secure in the chassis as shown in Figure 3.
