Installing MGX 8830/B Redundancy Connectors
Warning You must remove power from the MGX 8830/B switch before installing RCONs. Exposed connector pins
near the RCON have hazardous voltages.
To install RCONs in an MGX 8830/B chassis, perform the following steps:
Step1 Verify that you have an MGX 8830/B chassis. A simple check is to open a configuration session and
enter the dspcd command. The second line displays the chassis type.
Step2 Remove power to the chassis, either at the AC power supply or DC power source.
Step3 If the MGX 8830/B has back cards installed, remove them.
a. Use the flat-head or Phillips tip of the 3-in-1 tool to loosen the two captive screws located on the top
and bottom of the back card faceplate.
b. Pull each of the two extractor levers, located at the top and bottom of the faceplate, out to the
horizontal position.
c. Pull evenly on the two extractor levers to remove the back card from the APS connector.
