Removing a fabric card from a Passport 15000
Remove a fabric card from the rear of a Passport 15000 switch to replace it
because of a failure or an upgrade, or to assist in replacing an alarm/BITS
module.
Prerequisites
•
You must be familiar with “Safety considerations and best practices”
(page 53).
Procedure steps
1
Unfasten the Phillips captive screw beside the fabric lever.
2
Put one hand into the fabric handle and the other hand on the fabric lever.
3
Start removing the fabric by gently pulling the lever towards you. Pulling
the lever opens the casing and unseats the fabric. The uneven tension on
the lever is normal.
4
Stop at full extension of the lever. Keep holding the fabric in position. A
fabric card is surprisingly heavy.
5
Gently slide the 2 hinge pins together out of the upper and lower middle
hinge grooves until the fabric is completely disengaged.
6
Pack the fabric in its original anti-ESD protection packaging.
