disk assembly installs at the rear of the main unit. For the BCM400 main unit, the hard disk 
assembly installs in the advanced function tray.

Use the procedures described in this chapter under the following conditions:

Remember to take suitable precautions when working inside the BCM system. Maintain a clean

main unit. Read and follow installation instructions carefully.

Caution: Use only Nortel-approved replacement components. Contact your account
