Remove the SG6000-CN controller from a cabinet or rack to access the top cover or to move the controller to a different location.

What you'll need
Steps

  1. Label and then disconnect the controller power cables.

  2. Wrap the strap end of the ESD wristband around your wrist, and secure the clip end to a metal ground to prevent static discharge.

  3. Label and then disconnect the controller data cables and any SFP+ or SFP28 transceivers.

    Important To prevent degraded performance, do not twist, fold, pinch, or step on the cables.

  4. Loosen the two captive screws on the controller front panel.

  5. Slide the SG6000-CN controller forward out of the rack until the mounting rails are fully extended and you hear the latches on both sides click.

    The controller top cover is accessible.

  6. Optional: If you are fully removing the controller from the cabinet or rack, follow the instructions for the rail kit to remove the controller from the rails.
