Replacing a T1/E1 Module

Before you replace a T1/E1 module on the E4G router, have the following items on hand:
  • ESD-preventive wrist strap
  • #1 Phillips screwdriver

You can replace a T1/E1 module without powering down the router. However, you will need to reboot the router to initialize the newly installed T1/E1 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 T1/E1 module out of the router, as shown in the following figure.
