The ANIM and 9A656-04 module are sensitive to static discharges. Use a

!grounding strap and observe all static precautions during this procedure. Failure

to do so could damage the ANIM and the 9A656-04 module.CAUTION

NOTE

If you are installing ANIMs in more than one slot, remove the cover plates from all the associated slot openings.

A Phillips Head screwdriver is needed to install the ANIMs.

The 9A656-04 module is shipped without ANIMs. To install the ANIMs proceed as follows:

1.Remove the module if it is installed in the SmartSwitch 9500 chassis. To remove a module, release (rotate outward) the top and bottom plastic locking tabs, then slide the module out of the chassis.

2.Refer to Figure 2-4. Remove the two screws fastening the coverplate to the front standoffs where the ANIM is to be installed. Save the screws.
