Installing a Clock Module

Before you install the clock module on the E4G-200 router, have the following items on hand:
  • ESD-preventive wrist strap
  • #1 Phillips screwdriver

You can install a clock module without powering down the router. However, you will need to reboot the router to initialize the newly installed clock module.

Note

Note

The router might reboot itself when the installation is complete. Because of this, we recommend that you perform the installation during off-peak hours.
  1. Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your bare wrist and connect the metal end to an appropriate ground point on the rack.
  2. On the front panel of the E4G-200 router, loosen the screws that hold the cover on the clock module slot.

    Remove the slot cover as shown in the following figure.

  5. To initialize the clock module, reboot the router.

Save the slot cover to re-use in case you remove the clock module later. An unoccupied module slot must be covered to ensure satisfactory EMI levels and to maintain adequate airflow through the router.
