Replacing data cards and processing hardware

Besides the hard disk, power supply, and cooling fans, a number of components the BCM1000 uses for data functions can be replaced.

These components can be replaced:

•WAN cards

•LAN cards

•modem cards

•computer memory

•PEC cards

•motherboard battery

Replacing data cards

Depending on your location, you can have various configurations of data cards that can include WAN card, LAN, and modem cards (North America, only). All three types of cards are removed and replaced in the same manner, the only difference being which PCI slot they are inserted into.

For a description of the function of each type of card on the BCM1000, refer to “Data networking components” on page 22.

Figure 125 provides a general procedure for card replacement in the PCI slots of the BCM1000.
