  • Page 18 Removal of System Power Chassis The system power chassis is pre-installed in the system unit when sys- tem unit is shipped from factory. The chassis is designed for easy un- installation from system unit in case of any inspection purpose. How- ever, note that this removal only can be performed by a well-trained technical person.
  • Page 19 Insertion of System Power Chassis Before inserting the power chassis into system unit, make sure: • The system power switch is turned off. • The power cord is disconnected from the power chassis. To insert the power chassis, hold the handle and push it into system unit until it is seated in system chassis properly.
  • Page 20 2.2.4 Media Converter Slots The system chassis provides sixteen slots for installing optional slide-in MCs. A media converter can be inserted into an available slot or removed from a slot anytime even when system unit is powered on. This hot-plug design keeps all exiting connections on the other slots running with no influence.
  • Page 21 To remove an MC from slot, the steps are: 1. Disconnect all cable connections on the MC first. 2. Unscrew the MC bracket from system chassis. 3. Hold the bracket and pull it slowly out from the slot. The media converters are designed with hot-plug feature, which allows insertion and removal of the converters can be performed even when the system is in operation.
