Replacing the ELU

The ELU reports the information about the cabinet type. If the ELU is faulty, you must replace it.

Prerequisites

The tools and materials, such as an ESD wrist strap or a pair of ESD gloves, Phillips screwdriver, ESD box or bag, and key to the cabinet door are ready.

The quantity and model of the faulty boards are confirmed, and new boards of the same quantity and model are ready.

The authorized personnel are permitted to enter the site. The required keys are available.

Context
The position for installing the ELU varies depending on the cabinet. The ELU is installed on the right of the RFC, APM30H, or TMC11H, as shown in Figure 1. The ELU is installed on
the left of the IBBS200D or IBBS200T, as shown in Figure 2.
NOTE:
The position for installing the ELU in the RFC, APM30H, or TMC11H is the same. Following uses the TMC11H cabinet as an example.

Procedure
1. Wear an ESD wrist strap or a pair of ESD gloves.
CAUTION:
Take proper ESD protection measures, for example, wear an ESD wrist strap or a pair of ESD gloves, to prevent electrostatic damage to the boards, modules, or electronic
components.
2. Remove the RJ-45 connector from the port on the housing of the ELU.
NOTE:
To replace the ELU in an IBBS200D or IBBS200T, remove the leftmost storage battery in the upper storage battery compartment, as shown in Figure 3. For details about how to
remove a storage battery, see Replacing the Batteries.
