Restricted Procedures
This section contains procedures that should only be performed by authorised
service personnel. Unauthorised use of procedures in this section may cause
danger of injury from electric shock, damage to the router, and invalidation of
the product warranty.
If you would like to know more about the procedures outlined in this section,
please contact your authorised Allied Telesyn distributor or reseller.
Installing a MAC
MACs can be installed in all AR300 and AR400 series routers, and AR740
routers, one MAC per router.
MACs should only be installed by authorised service personnel. Unauthorised
opening of the router lid may cause danger of injury from electric shock, damage
to the router, and invalidation of the product warranty.
Before installing a MAC:
1. Check that you have the correct tools and equipment.
You will need a medium-sized posidrive screwdriver.
2. Avoid injury by working in a safe environment.
The workspace should be free of hazards, and there should be sufficient
room to lay out the router, the MAC, and the tools.
3. Unpack the MAC in an antistatic environment.
Do not attempt to install any hardware option without observing correct
antistatic procedures. Failure to do so may damage the router or hardware
option. If you are unsure what the ‘correct’ procedures are, contact your
authorised Allied Telesyn distributor or reseller.
To install a MAC:
1. If connected, disconnect the router’s RPS power supply.
2. Turn off the router and remove the mains power cord.
Before removing the router’s lid, the power cord and, if connected, RPS power
cord should be disconnected to reduce risk of electrical shock.
3. Remove all interface cables.
4. Remove the router lid.
The router lid is secured by posidrive screws. Remove the screws and lift
the lid off the chassis.
The router may need to be removed from any racking system before the lid
can be removed.
