Contivity 4600 Option Installation

This section describes how to install or replace hardware components for the Contivity 4600.

Caution: Wear an antistatic band when handling electronic components for the switch to avoid damaging them.

Warning: Turn off the switch and unplug both power cords before installing LAN and WAN cards or system memory.

Opening the Contivity 4600

To replace power supplies, replace hard disk drives, or access the diskette drive for system recovery operations, you must remove the switch’s front bezel.

Note: Removing the front bezel on the Contivity 4600 activates the chassis intrusion alarm on power only. This intrusion is reported to the system log file.

The first few times you remove the front bezel it might seem to resist removal. This is simply because the ball stud and sockets are new. After a few times, removal is easier. Remove the switch front bezel as follows:

1Insert a flat-head screwdriver into the slots on the lower left and right sides of the chassis, and pry the bezel forward.

2Slide your fingers between the front bezel and the switch.

3Pull the bezel forward firmly, separating the ball studs on the bezel from the sockets on the chassis.
