Installing the MCC Card

Nortel Networks 8600 Installing the MCC Card, Handling Precautions for STATIC-SENSITIVE Devices

Installing and Connecting the Hardware

Use a small- to medium-size flat-blade screwdriver to install the MCC card.

NOTE:

All standalone 8600 chassis (i.e., chassis that are not daisy-chained to other HotWire 8600 DSLAM chassis) require an MCC card, but only the base chassis of a multi-system stack requires an MCC card.

Do not discard filler plates. Each slot in the chassis must contain a circuit card or a filler plate to maintain the required EMI shielding and to prevent air leakage from the forced air cooling. Air leakage could result in overheating which may cause the power to the circuit cards to be shut off. Store all unused filler plates in a safe place. You may need to use the filler plates to cover open slots in the chassis at a later time.

!HANDLING PRECAUTIONS FOR STATIC-SENSITIVE DEVICES

		This product is designed to protect sensitive components from damage
		due to electrostatic discharge (ESD) during normal operation. When
		performing installation procedures, however, take proper static control
		precautions to prevent damage to equipment. If you are not sure of the
	496-15104	proper static control precautions, contact your nearest sales or service

"Procedure

To install the MCC card in the HotWire 8600 DSLAM chassis:

1.Remove the filler plate from Slot 1 by unscrewing the mounting screws at each end.

2.Hold the MCC card horizontally with the components on top and insert it into the left and right card guides of Slot 1 of the base chassis.
