Installing Hardware Options for the Contivity VPN Switch
Chapter 5
Contivity 1600 Option Installation
This chapter describes how Nortel Networks trained service personnel can change
existing hardware configurations, including installing LAN and WAN cards and
how to add memory for the Contivity 1600.
Opening the Contivity 1600
To access the Contivity 1600’s diskette drive for system recovery operations, you
must first remove the switch’s front bezel. To install LAN or WAN cards, install
hardware accelerator PCI cards, install additional memory, replace power
supplies, or replace hard disk drives, you must remove the front bezel and then
remove the switch’s top cover.
You may find it easier to work on the system when
it has been removed from the rack.
Warning:
Wear an antistatic band when handling electronic
components for the Contivity switch to avoid damaging them.
Note:
Turn off the Contivity switch and unplug it before installing LAN
or WAN cards, or system memory.
