Removing a 3-slot Passport switch shelf
Remove a 3-slot Passport switch shelf to redeploy in another location or to
decommission.
Prerequisites
Remove the power cables and processor cards and disconnect cables from any
rear-mounted termination panels before removing the shelf.
Procedure steps
1 If the switch is installed in a rack or cabinet, have one person remove the
screws that fasten the front brackets to the rails of the rack or cabinet
while another person supports the chassis. Remove the brackets from the
chassis if no longer required. See the figure “Rack-mounting brackets on
3-slot Passport switch” (page 331)
2 If the switch is a vertical mount, remove the shelf plate, shelf assembly
and cable guide as show in the figure “Removing vertical mount shelf
hardware” (page 332).
3 If the switch is a desk-top mount, remove the feet and cable guide. See
the figures “Removing the feet on a desk-top mounted 3-slot Passport
switch” (page 333) and “Cable guide on desk-top mounted 3-slot
Passport switch” (page 235).
4 Remove any rear-mounted termination panels from the shelf, if no longer
required.
5 Pack the shelf in its original packaging.
CAUTION
Risk of equipment damage
You need two people to remove a 3-slot Passport switch
from a rack or cabinet: one person must hold the chassis
in place while a second person unfastens the screws.
CAUTION
Risk of damage to equipment by moving
When moving an uncrated cabinet or shelf assembly,
protect it from strain, shock, impact, and vibration. Lack
of protection can damage or warp the equipment.
