Chapter 6

The supervisor card is hot-swappable and can be removed from the Alcatel 
Wireless LAN Switch chassis while system power is on or off.

Verify you understand the procedure and all precautions.

Before beginning, read the entire procedure. Verify you understand all the 
precautions in these steps as well as those on 

Disconnect all cables attached to the supervisor card.

Loosen the module’s fastening screws.

At the front of the Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch, use a #2 Phillips or 
cross-head screwdriver to loosen both of the fastening screws on the 
faceplate of the installed supervisor card. The screws loosen with 
counter-clockwise rotation, but are captive and cannot be fully removed.

Remove the supervisor card.

Grasp the module handle firmly and draw the supervisor card forward from its 
slot. There may be moderate resistance as the module comes free from its 
connections with the chassis backplane, but do not use excessive force. Once 
disengaged from the backplane, the supervisor card should easily slide out the 
rest of the way.

Cover blank slots.

For safety considerations, as well as to promote proper airflow for cooling and 
to prevent dust from entering the switch chassis, cover any unoccupied slot 
with a blank cover plate.

—This procedure should be performed by a trained technician.

—Verify that the fastening screws for the module above the 

supervisor card slot are fully secured. If a module in an upper slot (Slot 
2 or 3) is loose, it could interfere with the removal of the supervisor 
card and possibly damage the components.
