To remove the processor expansion card (PEC)

1

Ensure you have a current data backup of your system (see

“Using the backup and restore

utility” on page 256

).

2

Shut down the system (see

“Performing a system shutdown” on page 239

).

3

Disconnect the BCM system from the AC power outlet.

4

Attach one end of the grounding strap to your wrist and the other end to a grounded metal
surface.

5

Completely remove the base function tray from the main unit (see

“Removing the base

function tray” on page 242

). Ensure you do not pinch, stretch, or damage any cables.

6

Grasp the top edge of the PEC you want to remove and it pull out. Place the PEC in a safe and
static-free container. Refer to

Figure 171

.

Warning: Possible data loss

Ensure that you do not touch the PEC casing to any of the components on the MSC. This
may cause shorting, which can erase memory or cause a loss of telephony programming.

If a loss of memory or telephony programming occurs, complete the removal of the PEC,
and then restore the data from your backup medium upon reinstallation (see

“Installing a

processor expansion card (PEC)” on page 322

).

Warning: Protect the hardware components against damage from electrostatic discharge.
Always wear a grounded wrist strap before you handle components. Always place the
components in a static-free container.
