Secure the supervisor card.

Use a #2 Phillips or cross-head screwdriver to push in the captive fastening

screws and turn them clockwise until moderate resistance is felt. Do not

over-tighten.

Connect the appropriate network cables.

Removing a Supervisor Card

The supervisor card is hot-swappable and can be removed from the Alcatel

Wireless LAN Switch chassis while system power is on or off.

Make sure you understand the procedure and all precautions.

Before beginning, read the entire procedure. Make sure you understand all the

precautions in these instructions.

Disconnect all cables attached to the supervisor card.

Loosen the module’s fastening screws.

At the front of the Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch, use a #2 Phillips or cross-head

screwdriver to loosen both of the fastening screws on the faceplate of the

installed supervisor card. The screws loosen with counter-clockwise rotation,

but are captive and cannot be fully removed.

Remove the supervisor card.

Grasp the module handle firmly and draw the supervisor card forward from its

slot. There may be moderate resistance as the module comes free from its

connections with the chassis backplane, but do not use excessive force. Once

disengaged from the backplane, the supervisor card should easily slide out the

rest of the way.

Cover blank slots.

For safety considerations, as well as to promote proper airflow for cooling and

to prevent dust from entering the switch chassis, cover any unoccupied slot

with a blank cover plate.

CAUTION—This procedure should be performed only by a trained

technician.

CAUTION—Make sure that the fastening screws for the module above

the supervisor card slot are fully secured. If a module in an upper slot

(Slot 2 or 3) is loose, it could interfere with the removal of the

supervisor card and possibly damage the components.
