The following procedure describes how to replace the CPU module.  
 
 
Warning: Power off the device before replacing the CPU module. 
 
  To replace the CPU module: 
1.  Remove the faulty CPU module: 
a.  Power down the device by disconnecting the power cord from the power source, 
and then unplugging the power cord from the power inlet on the power supply 
module. If your device is installed with two power Supply modules, disconnect 
both of them from the power source. 
b.  Remove all cables connected to the ports on the CPU module. 
c.  Remove the two Philips screws on both sides of the module that secure the 
module to the chassis, using a Philips screwdriver. 
d.  Hold the front part of the module with one hand and place your other hand under 
the module to support it. Gently pull the module out of the slot, keeping it at a 90-
degree angle to the backplane.
