Sf/Cpu Modules; Job Aid: Avoiding Esd; Removing A Filler Panel - Avaya 8800 Maintenance Manual

Chassis slots and backplane cleaning

SF/CPU modules

If you replace an 8692 SF/CPU or 8895 SF/CPU module, all the other modules in the chassis
reset and revert to their saved configuration settings. If configuration settings for a module
were not saved, the module reverts to its factory default settings.

Job aid: Avoiding ESD

The Ethernet Routing Switch 8800/8600 modules are sensitive to static electricity. Static
discharge from your clothing or other fixtures around you, even at levels that do not create a
spark, can cause damage to hardware.
Electrostatic alert:
Risk of equipment damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage hardware. Follow the procedures in this section
to protect your equipment from damage.
To prevent electrostatic discharge damage when you work with the Ethernet Routing Switch
8800/8600, place each module on a grounded antistatic mat until you are ready to install it. If
you do not have an antistatic mat, wear a discharge leash or wrist strap to free yourself of static
before you touch a module. (An antistatic wrist strap is shipped with the 8010co chassis.) You
can also free yourself of static by touching the metal chassis before you handle the module.
When handling modules, do not touch components on the circuit boards; always handle
module by their edges. Store unused modules in their protective packaging.

Removing a filler panel

Before you can clean the chassis slots or backplane, you must remove the appropriate filler
panel.
Avaya ships the chassis with a filler panel covering each empty module slot. On an 8003-R,
8006, or an 8010 chassis, the filler panel covers an empty module slot. On the 8010co chassis,
the filler panel resembles a module and is installed in the empty module slot.
Removing a filler panel takes about one minute.
