Replacing Processor Cards in Standalone Enclosures
Introduction This section describes how to replace a 6500 PLUS processor card in a standalone
enclosure.
Warning
Before opening the enclosure, be sure that it is unplugged from the power source.
Caution
6500 PLUS cards and their components are sensitive to static discharge, which can
damage components. Use proper handling and grounding precautions, including the
use of an anti-static grounding strap, whenever you handle a card.
Card Removal
Procedure To remove a processor card, follow these steps:
Step Action
1 Open the front door of the enclosure and remove it by pressing down
on the hinges, as shown in Figure 2-3.
2 Turn over the enclosure so it is resting on its cover (Figure 2-4) and
locate the six locking tab slots (three on each side). There are four
locking clips (two in the front and two in the back) in the slots.
3 Using a small pair of pliers, remove the four locking clips from the
slots.
4 Using a small screwdriver or similar tool, press the locking tabs
inside the slots until they release (Figure 2-5).
5 On the rear panel above the power cable, loosen, but do not remove,
the locknut and washer.
6 Turn the enclosure over so it is upright. Tilt the cover clockwise
(when viewed from the rear) until you encounter resistance
(Figure 2-3).There is a cable connecting the power supply and the
backplane.
7 Reach into the enclosure and disconnect the power cable from the
backplane socket.
8 Remove the cover.
9 Using a screwdriver, remove the screw holding the card to the bottom
of the enclosure (Figure 2-6).
10 Lift the card and backplane out of the enclosure and carefully remove
the backplane from the card.
