Replacing a Clock Module

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

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

  1. Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect the metal end to an appropriate ground point on the rack.
  2. Completely loosen the captive retaining screws and slide the installed clock module out of the router, as shown in the following figure.
