Replacing removable components
CAUTION:
•
To avoid device damage or bodily injury, strictly follow the procedures provided in this chapter for
component replacement.
•
Long-time exposure to strong air flow might cause discomfort. To avoid this hazard, do not stand
close to the air outlet vents while the switch is operating. If you must be next to the switch on the
air outlet vent side for an extended period, avoid the air flow or take other protective measures.
The gateway uses a modular architecture. You can replace the removable components on it.
Replacing a module
CAUTION:
•
If you are not to install a new module in a slot after removing the old one, install a filler panel in the
slot for adequate heat dissipation and dust prevention.
•
Before removing a module, first remove the cables from it.
