The first line card should be installed in Slot 2 of the Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch chassis. A second optional line card can be installed in Slot 3, and a third in Slot 1. A line card cannot be installed in Slot 0.

CAUTION—If installing a line card in Slot 1, make sure that the fastening screws for the module in the slot above it are fully secured. If the module in Slot 3 is loose, it could interfere with the new module insertion and possibly damage the components.

If you are replacing a previously installed module, first see “Removing a Line Card”.

To install a module in a previously empty bay, remove the blank cover plate first. To do this, use a #2 Phillips or cross-head screwdriver to loosen both of the fastening screws on the blank cover place. The screws loosen with counter-clockwise rotation, but are captive and cannot be fully removed.

Carefully insert the line card into the chassis slot.

Engage the line card.

There may be moderate resistance when the line card meets the connectors in the backplane. Press firmly so that the connectors at the back of the module engage with the backplane, but do not use excessive force.

If the system is powered up, the module’s Power LED will light up green if the line card is inserted properly.

5Secure the line card.

Use a #2 Phillips or cross-head screwdriver to push in the captive fastening screws and turn them clockwise until moderate resistance is felt. Do not over-tighten.

6Connect the appropriate network cables.

Removing a Line Card

CAUTION—This procedure should be performed only by a trained technician.

The line card is hot-swappable and can be removed from the Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch chassis while system power is on or off.

1Make sure you understand the procedure and all precautions.
