6.3 SWAPPING A MODULE
When swapping identical modules, it is recommended that you remove
power from the ATX. However, the module you are replacing must be
taken offline first, as described below.
1. Take the module to be replaced offline, either by pressing the
OFFLINE button on the module front panel, or by using the Local
Console Manager
offline command.
2. Remove power from the ATX.
3. Remove the network connections from the module. Note the ports to
which the network connections attach.
4. Loosen the screws at each end of the front panel of the module to be
replaced.
5. Remove the installed module by pulling gently but firmly on the ears
at the ends of the module's front panel.
6. Gently slide the new module into the plastic guides in the module slot
until it is completely inserted. Push the module firmly into place, as far
as it will go, to fully engage the connectors at the back of the module
with the backplane at the rear of the ATX chassis.
7. Tighten the screws on each side of the module’s front panel.
8. If you took the original module offline by pressing the OFFLINE
button, the new Token Ring module will automatically come back on
line when it is inserted in the slot.
9. If you used the LCM offline command to take the original module
offline, you must use the
online command to bring the new module
online.
10. Check the module LED power-on sequence as described in Chapter 2,
Connecting to the Network.
11. Make the connections to the network as described in Chapter 2.
