a.
Make sure all cables are labeled.
b.
Tag each module with the current slot number and be sure modules are returned to same slot.
c.
Verify that the new chassis has arrived in good condition. For a fully loaded chassis you will need 18 static bags for
eight front cards, seven PICs, two PMs, and one Fan Tray Module.
Note: Ensure your ESD strap is in place before handling any C4c CMTS component, modules, or other hardware.
2.
Enter the
write mem
command and save the running configuration to a local file and any other relevant information
pertaining to modem counts (this will be referenced after the chassis swap).
3.
FTP the backed-up running-configuration to a system or machine other than the C4c CMTS.
4.
Power down the C4c CMTS by turning the breakers to the off position on the Power Modules. (This applies to either AC
or DC power.)
5.
Remove the power feed(s) from the rear of the chassis.
6.
Remove cables from rear CAM PICs and group them with a tie wrap for ease of identification.
7.
Remove all other cables from SCM, RCM, and PICs after each cable has been identified and labeled.
8.
Remove power modules from the chassis.
9.
Remove active front modules from top to bottom and put each module into a static bag with an identification tag
indicating which slot it came from.
10.
Remove PICs from the chassis rear from top to bottom and put each module into a static bag with an identification tag
indicating which slot it came from.
11.
Remove the Fan Tray Module prior to chassis dismount.
12.
Disconnect the chassis ground as a final step prior to chassis dismount. The current chassis can now be swapped with
the new chassis.
13.
Reconnect the chassis ground once the new chassis is installed.
14.
Install the Fan Tray Module.
15.
Insert the power modules, restore power supply feeds, and power up the C4c CMTS.
16.
Reload the front and rear modules. Be sure to route front cables to the left side (when facing the system) of the C4c
chassis to avoid interference with the Fan Tray Module.
