12.4 Installing a Crossbar Unit
This section describes the procedure for installing a crossbar unit.
Caution - When mounting a crossbar unit, check the connectors on both the chassis and the crossbar unit beforehand to confirm that no pin is bent and all the pins are neatly arranged in lines. If a crossbar unit is mounted with a bent pin in a connector, the chassis or crossbar unit may be damaged. Also, carefully proceed with the work to prevent any pin from being bent.
  1. Carefully insert the crossbar unit into the chassis.
  2. Close the right and left levers of the crossbar unit and tighten two screws.
  3. Connect all crossbar cables (optical) to the crossbar unit.
    For details, see "11.4 Installing a Crossbar Cable (Optical)."
Note - Reinstall the crossbar cables (optical) in their original positions by referring to the notes that you made prior to the start of maintenance.
Caution - A loose crossbar cable connection may, on rare occasions, cause an error due to poor connection. After connecting a crossbar cable, push it in again so that it is tightly in place to prevent any improper connection. Do not hold only the orange fiber optic cable when performing work at this time. Otherwise, the fiber optic cable may bend out of shape. For details, see step 3 in "11.4 Installing a Crossbar Cable (Optical)."
The FRU installation work is completed. See "Chapter 7 Maintenance Flow" to continue maintenance work.
