3. Unlock the handles by pressing the red button on each handle. The button immediately activates the
switch (turning it to an open position), while the button itself remains depressed. The blade can then be
removed.
4. Remove the malfunctioning Model 2616RC by pushing the handles outwards, pulling the card gently but
firmly from its slot in the chassis. Place the removed card in the container the replacement Model 2616RC
came in so you can return the defective Model 2616RC for repair.
Installing the replacement Model 2616RC
1. Insert the replacement Model 2616RC into the rack chassis.
2. Insert the rear blade into the desired slot in the rack chassis. Make sure the blade is seated properly in the
slot guides.
3. Gently press the blade into the chassis until the alignment/ESD pin engages the chassis. When the blade is
fully seated, the red buttons in the handles click up automatically, thus locking the handle and activating
the switch (closed position). The click of the button gives a visual and audible confirmation that the board
is fully seated.
4. Connect the following cables to the Model 2616RC:
The T1/E1 WAN cable (68-pin SCSI connector)
The RS-232 CONFIG cable
The 10/100 ETHERNET cable
5. Verify that the green POWER LED is lit.

tion “Initial configuration through the RS-232 control port” on page 33.

3. To import a configuration file into the Model 2616RC, type the complete path and filename for the con-
figuration file you wish to load or click on the Browse… button to select the desired file, then click the
Submit Query button.
Upon successfully importing the file, the Model 2616RC will display Configuration Load Complete, indi-
cating that the new operating parameters have been loaded into flash memory.

tor Actions.
