Removing an analog port board

Complete the following procedure to remove an analog port board. You might be required to remove an analog port board when replacing a faulty board or migrating to a new server.

Warning! Damage from electrostatic discharge is possible. See Protecting against ESD damage for more information.

To remove an analog port board:

1. Verify that the replacement card is on site and appears to be in usable condition with no obvious shipping damage.
2. If the system is in service, complete the following steps:
   1. Stop the voice system.
   2. Shut down the voice system.
3. Shut down the system and unplug the AC power cords.
4. For a rack-mount setup, remove the server from the cabinet:

   Caution: For safety purposes, get another person to assist you with moving the server.

   1. Prepare a clear area as a work surface for the server.
   2. Unplug all cables at the back of the server. Label all cables so you can easily reconnect them.
   3. Press the release clips on the rails to fully extend the rail.
   4. Lift the server off the rails and set the server on the work surface.
5. Remove the PC cover.
6. For the S3210, carefully set the PC on its right side, with the rear power switch toward the work surface.
7. If you are removing a card from an S3210R, see Replacing or removing the S3210R circuit card hold-down bracket. If you are removing a card from an S3400-H, see Replacing or removing the S3400-H circuit card hold-down bracket.
8. Locate the card you want to replace.
9. Disconnect the phone lines from the card.
10. If more than one card is installed, disconnect the CT Bus cable from the card you are replacing and from any adjacent cards as necessary to remove the faulty card.

    Note: Pay close attention to the card connections to make it easier to connect the replacement card.

11. If you are removing a card from an S3210R or an S3210, locate the fastener that holds the analog port board in place, and then press the arrow at the top of the fastener down and forward to release the fastener.
12. Remove the retaining screw from the slot faceplate and save it.
13. Lift the card from the slot by gently pulling on each corner of the card. See Replacing an S3400-H circuit card or Replacing an S3210 analog card. Note the slot assignment of the card because you must install the replacement card in the same slot.
14. Save the old card to use as a reference when configuring the new card.
