E6L Engine AVB-192 Network Card Replacement
This document provides instructions for replacing the AVB-192 Network Card(s) in the E6L engine.
Images shown in this guide (such as cable colors or hardware configuration) may not exactly match your E6L.
Required Materials
Included:
• 1x AVB-192 Network Card
Not Included (must be acquired separately):
• Phillips #2 screwdriver (not included)
• Anti-Static wrist strap (not included)
• Foam or other soft surface to place cards on
• Table or other flat work surface strong enough to support the E6L Engine Core
Removing the E6L Engine Core
AVB-192 Network Cards are installed in the E6L engine core, which slides out of the E6L chassis.
To remove the E6L engine core
Put on your anti-static wrist band and configure it according to its instructions.
1
Shut down your system, and disconnect any cables connected to your E6L engine.
2
Place your E6L on a table or other flat surface that provides enough room for the E6L engine core to be removed comfortably.
3
Make sure your surface is clear of any debris.
If your E6L engine is installed in a rack and there is enough room inside the rack to access the inside of the core, instead of com-
pletely removing the core you can slide it out until it catches, and then proceed with installation.
On the back of the E6L, loosen the four thumbscrews that secure the core to the engine chassis.
