Installing Contivity 4500 LAN/WAN and hardware accelerator option cards

This section describes how you install option cards into the Contivity 4500 option card slide-out tray. The following procedure is for Nortel Networks trained service personnel only.

1Turn off the switch and unplug both power cords from the power source.

2Unscrew the four slotted thumb screws securing the slide-out tray. Pull out the tray by gripping it with the screws. It will only pull out half way.

3Remove the filler panel screw and pull out the slot filler panel.

4Slide the option card into the intended slot. Make sure the card seats firmly and evenly into the card slot. If the card is not seated properly, it will not work. Populate the slots from Slot 1 to Slot 6, in that order.

5Secure the option card in the tray with the slot filler panel screw.

6Push in the tray by gripping it with the screws. Tighten the four slotted thumb screws securing the slide-out tray.

7Plug in both power cords to the power source and turn on the switch.

Caution: Be careful when inserting option cards into the Contivity 4500, because the slide-out tray is not fully supported once pulled out. You should support the back of the tray with your hand while inserting an option card.
