Installing Contivity 4600 LAN/WAN and hardware accelerator cards

This section describes how you install option cards in the switch option card slide-out tray. The following procedure is for Nortel Networks trained service personnel only.

1Turn off the switch and unplug both power cords from the power source.

2Unscrew the four slotted thumb-screws securing the slide-out tray. Pull out the tray by gripping it with the screws. It will only pull out halfway.

3Remove the filler panel screw and pull out the slot filler panel.

4Slide the option card into the intended slot. Make sure the card seats firmly and evenly in the card slot. If the card is not seated properly, it will not work. Populate the slots from Slot 1 to Slot 6 (top to bottom), in that order, as shown in Figure 4.
