port are shown in “Twisted Pair Port Pinouts.”
Recessed CPU RESET Button
The recessed CPU RESET button allows you to reset only the management card. You
may need to reset the management card after upgrading the firmware or after you have
made a configuration change that requires resetting the card to activate the change.
Note
This reset button does not reset the line cards and/or the module installed in the
expansion slot at the rear of the chassis.
LEDs
The management card has three status LEDs and the twisted pair port has three LEDs,
as described in “LED Descriptions.”
Installing an AT-CV5M0x Management Card
Note
Before installing an AT-CV5M0x Management Card, refer to the appropriate
Converteon chassis installation guide for electrical safety and emissions
information.
Note
You can install a Converteon line card in any Converteon chassis line card slot.
To install an AT-CV5M0x Management Card, perform the following procedure:
1. Remove the AT-CV5M0x Management Card from its shipping package and store the
package in a safe location. You must use the original package if you need to return
the unit to Allied Telesis.
2. Select any line card slot in the chassis where you want to install the management
card, and remove the blank slot cover if one is installed.
3. Align the back edge of the management card with the top and bottom alignment
guides located inside the slot.
4. Slide the management card into the slot until the front of the card is flush with the
front of the chassis.
Note
Avoid touching the line card components.
Warning: Remove all metal jewelry, such as rings and watches, before installing
or removing a line card from a powered-on chassis.
Caution: Be sure to observe all standard electrostatic discharge (ESD)
precautions, such as wearing an antistatic wrist strap, to avoid damaging the
device. A line card can be damaged by static electricity.
5. Secure the AT-CV5M0x Management Card to the chassis by using a Phillips
screwdriver to tighten the captive screw on the management card faceplate.
Note
Always tighten the captive screw to secure the management card to the chassis.
Leaving an AT-CV5M0x Management Card partially seated may cause the CPU to
halt and subsequently crash.
For information about how to configure the terminal port and how to start a local or
remote management session, refer to the relevant management software user’s guide.
For information about removing or resetting an installed AT-CV5M0x Management Card,
refer to the installation guide for the chassis model you are using.
