2.Turn the power switch on the switch assembly to Off (`0').

3.Detach all cables from rear of switch assembly noting where external frame cables are attached. If wrap plugs are installed, remove them and save for the new switch.

2.If wrap plugs are installed, they can be plugged on the new switch.

3.Slide switch through the front of the frame and reinstall four screws that hold the switch to the frame.

4.If this is a switch drawer (in F/C 2030/1) and you are reinstalling the switch assembly, reinstall the two screws at the rear of the switch assembly.

5.Reattach all cables to rear of switch assembly.
