Step 8
Replace the front door that was removed in Steps 1 and 2.
How to Install or Replace a Switch Card
Note: The Switch Cards are hot-swappable; the VX640 system does not need to be
shutdown to replace.
Step 1
Turn the thumbscrews counterclockwise until they disengage from the chassis. Pull the Switch Card out
using both black ejector handles.
Step 2
Place the new module upright so that the integrated circuitry/components are on the right side of
the card. Grasp the module by the handles or by the outer edge of the aluminum housing. The card
should slide freely until it reaches the backplane connector. At this point, use just enough force to
firmly engage the card with the mating connector.
Warning! If the module does not slide into the connector, do not force it! Damage may
occur. Remove the card and start over.
Step 3
Once the module is completely seated, hand-tighten the thumbscrews.
Warning! Do not tighten the thumbscrews with a screwdriver.
How to Install or Replace a Controller Card
Note: When using a single Controller, the top Controller slot is always Primary.
Note: Replacing the Controller Card will interrupt service if a second (Fail-over
Controller Card) is not installed.
Step 1
Turn the thumbscrews counterclockwise until they disengage from the chassis. Pull the Controller Card
out using both black handles.
Step 2
Place the new module upright so that the ACTIVE LED is on the top. Grasp the module by the
handles or by the outer edge of the aluminum housing. The card should slide freely until it reaches
the backplane connector. At this point, use just enough force to firmly engage the card with the
mating connector.
Warning! If the module does not slide into the connector, do not force it! Damage may
occur. Remove the card and start over.
Step 3
Once the module is completely seated, hand-tighten the thumbscrews.
