Cabletron Systems ESX-1320 User Manual

This section describes how to remove the ESX chassis cover. The chassis 
cover must be removed to install a BRIM, set the mode switch bank, or 
install SIMM memory upgrades.

To remove the chassis cover, perform the following steps: 

1. Disconnect the ESX from the network as follows:

a.

Turn off the ESX by disconnecting the power cord from the rear 
of the ESX.

b. Mark the cables connected to the ESX according to their 

associated port numbers. This is recommended for ease of 
reinstallation.

c.

Disconnect all network cables attached to the ESX. 

2. If the ESX is mounted in a rack, perform the following steps. 

Otherwise, continue with step 3.

Do not remove the cover from the ESX when power is applied 
to the unit. Hazardous voltages are present. While performing 
this procedure, remove only the screws shown to remove the 
cover.

The internal components and boards associated with the ESX 
are static sensitive devices. Use the antistatic wrist band and 
observe standard antistatic safety procedures when the cover 
is removed. Failure to do so could cause damage or severely 
limit the life expectancy of the ESX.

To prevent damaging the ESX in the next step, support the 
ESX while removing it from the rack.
