MX2800 M13 Multiplexer User Manual

The MX2800 is designed with hot-swappable controller cards and power supplies. To replace or install a 
controller card or power supply, remove the front cover of the MX2800 with a phillips head screwdriver. 
Once the front of the MX2800 has been removed, the power supply and controller card slots will be 
visible. The two power supplies are located at the left of the chassis, and the controller cards are stacked on 
the right side of the chassis. To remove a card, use the locking lever(s) to pull the backplane connector 
away from the backplane. Once the backplane connector has been disconnected, carefully pull the card 
straight out of the chassis. To replace or install a card, line up the card with the guide grooves and carefully 
insert the card into the chassis until the backplane connector reaches the backplane. Finally, use the locking 
levers to seat the card all the way into the slot of the chassis. Once all cards have been replaced or installed, 
replace the front cover of the MX2800.
