Contivity 1600 Option Installation
This chapter describes how Nortel Networks trained service personnel can change existing hardware configurations, including installing LAN and WAN cards and how to add memory for the Contivity 1600.
Warning: Wear an antistatic band when handling electronic components for the Contivity switch to avoid damaging them.
Note: Turn off the Contivity switch and unplug it before installing LAN or WAN cards, or system memory.
Opening the Contivity 1600
To access the Contivity 1600’s diskette drive for system recovery operations, you must first remove the switch’s front bezel. To install LAN or WAN cards, install hardware accelerator PCI cards, install additional memory, replace power supplies, or replace hard disk drives, you must remove the front bezel and then remove the switch’s top cover. You may find it easier to work on the system when it has been removed from the rack.
