4The overpack is the outer shell of the packaging. Lift the overpack straight up until it slides free from the rest of the packaging. This allows easy access to the chassis.

5Carefully remove the protective plastic from the switch chassis.

6In order to reduce the weight of the chassis, it is recommended that you remove all factory-installed power supplies prior to lifting it from the packaging. Steps 7 through 12 below provide instructions for removing power supplies.

Note. Steps 7 through 12 apply to power supplies that are newly-shipped in the switch chassis. They have no power cords attached and the on/off switches are in the off ( O ) position. For instructions on removing power supplies that are currently operating in an existing switch, refer to your Hardware Users Guide.

7Loosen the two captive screws, located at the top and bottom of the power supply’s front panel. If necessary, use a flat-blade screwdriver to loosen the screws. Be sure that both captive screws are completely disengaged from the threaded holes in the chassis before continuing.

Note. Alcatel provides factory-installed blank cover plates for empty module slots. Do not remove these cover plates as they play an important role in chassis ventilation.

8With one hand, grasp the handle at the front of the power supply and slowly pull the power supply out of the power supply bay. Do not pull the power supply completely out of the bay with one hand.
