To install or replace a POE daughter card, you must have the following on hand:
• A POE daughter card (part number FGS-24GCPOE), which you can order from Foundry.
• An ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to the FGS chassis.
WARNIN G: For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 meg ohm resistor.
• A #2 Phillips-head screwdriver.
Disassembling the Chassis
This section provides instructions for disassembling the FGS chassis so that you can install, remove, or replace a
POE daughter card.
1. Remove power to the Foundry device. For AC power supplies, turn the switch to the OFF position. For DC
power supplies, turn off the DC power source or disconnect it from the power supply.
2. Put on an Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) wrist strap and attach the clip end to a metal surface (such as an
equipment rack) to act as ground.
3. Remove the device’s cover and faceplate:
• If the device was mounted on a rack, remove the two mounting brackets from the chassis. Figure 3.3 on
page 3-13 shows the location of the mounting brackets and screws.
• Use a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the two screws on each side of the cover. (There are four
screws altogether as shown in Figure 7.5.)
