Restricted Procedures
This section contains procedures that should only be performed by authorised
service personnel. Unauthorised use of procedures in this section may cause
danger of injury from electric shock, damage to the switch, and invalidation of
the product warranty.
If you would like to know more about the procedures outlined in this section,
please contact your authorised Allied Telesis distributor or reseller.
Installing CAM
LineCAM is available as a 192 k-entry module. Adding a LineCAM module
extends the switch’s Layer 2/Layer 3 forwarding database from 40 k-entries to
232 k-entries. One LineCAM module can be installed in each AT-9800 series
switch.
LineCAM can be ordered as a pre-installed item when purchasing a switch, or
can be purchased separately and installed as needed.
Warning
For AT-9800 Series switches, CAM should only be installed by
authorised service personnel. Unauthorised opening of the switch’s lid may
cause danger of injury from electric shock, damage to the switch, and
invalidation of the product warranty.
To install LineCAM in an AT-9800 series switch:
1.
Avoid injury by working in a safe environment.
The workspace should be free of hazards, and there should be sufficient
room to lay out the switch, CAM, and tools.
2.
Unpack the CAM in an antistatic environment.
Warning
Do not attempt to install any hardware without observing correct
antistatic procedures. Failure to do so may damage the switch or CAM. If you
are unsure what the correct procedures are, contact your authorised Allied
Telesis distributor or reseller.
3.
If fitted, disconnect the switch’s redundant power supply.
4.
Disconnect the mains power cord.
Warning
Before removing the switch’s lid, the power cord and, if connected,
RPS power cord should be disconnected to reduce risk of electrical shock.
5.
Remove all interface cables.
6.
Remove the switch’s lid.
The switch may need to be removed from any rack mounting system
before its lid can be removed.
Using a posidrive screwdriver, remove the 12 screws that secure the
switch’s lid. There are 5 screws located in countersunk holes on each side
of the lid, and 2 screws at the rear.
