3.Slide the DSL card into the slot until it engages the mating connectors on the backplane.

4.Press on the right side of the DSL's front panel with one hand and on the back of the 8600 chassis with the other until the DSL's connector seats in its mating connector.

5.Make sure the OK SYSTEM indicator on the DSL card faceplate is ON (green). For a more detailed explanation of the LEDs on the DSL card, refer to the appropriate DSL card documentation.

6.Secure the DSL card by fastening the screws on each end of the faceplate.

NOTE:

The DSL cards may be replaced without system disruption (i.e., you can remove and re-install a card without powering down the 8600 chassis and disrupting service to the other cards). To remove a DSL card from the 8600 chassis, unfasten the screws on both ends of the faceplate. Then, simply push the ejector handles outward and slide the card out.

When swapping the old DSL card with a new DSL card, it is important to note that the 8600 DSLAM retains the Media Access Control (MAC) address, also referred to as the physical address. This means that the new DSL card will have the same MAC address as the old one.
