Phillips screws hold the lower plenum panel in place; four of the screws
pass through the top of the I/O bulkhead and are removed when you
loosen the I/O bulkhead.)
6.
Remove the clock module or the PEM where the defective cable connects.
Then remove additional modules to provide clear and safe access to the
rail. Refer to
FRP 5
. Put the modules in a protected location that is ESD
safe.
7.
Locate the rail connector where the cable connects.
8.
Use tweezers or your fingers to carefully remove the foam plug (P/N
57176200) from the slot where the cable wires enter the rail. (Each
connector slot contains an oval piece of foam, which tears easily.) Refer
to
Figure 45. Slot Foam (Plug)
9.
Ensure that there is enough slack in the WACS cable (and any other wires
that connect to the same connector) to enable you to pull the connector
into the card cage. In other words, remove tie straps that secure the WACS
cable (and any other wires) to the wire rack.
10. If you are replacing a PEM-to-WACS cable, place ESD-safe foam or
plastic in the bottom of the card cage to catch any screws, etc., that you
might drop in subsequent steps.
11. Use the 0.05-in. hex wrench to remove the 2 hex screws (P/N 13033501)
that secure the connector to the rail. Then loosen (but do not remove) the
remaining hex screw in the adjacent connector that is closer to the power
supply. Refer to
. Be careful not to lose any screws; set the
screws in a secure location.
NOTE: This figure shows how wires pass through the slots in the foam.
