Module Removal

Remove an HFC Connector Module or SIM

 

 

The HFC Connector Module and the SIM are hot-swappable, so you can remove them or

install them while the CMTS is powered on.

 

 

1.

Disconnect all cables that are attached to the module ports. If appropriate, tag each cable

 

with its corresponding module port.

 

 

2.

Loosen the two retainer screws.

 

 

3.

Press upward and downward on the ejector releases (action #1 in Figure 48 on

 

page 169).

 

 

4.

Simultaneously pull the ejectors away from the module faceplate. The ejectors should

 

rest at approximately 45° from their locked position. At this point, the module is

 

physically and electrically removed from its connectors on the midplane.

 

 

5.

Slowly slide the module out of its slot until it is fully removed from the system.

 

 

6.

Insert the module into an anti-static bag, being careful to avoid directly touching any

 

component on the module. We recommend that you handle the module by its card

 

edges or ejectors.

 

 

7.

If the module will not be replaced, you must install an air management panel in its

 

place. Tighten the two retainer screws on the air management panel by applying 3 in-lb

 

of torque to each screw.
