- After sliding the ICN forward, lift the ICN up to release from
the bracket.
There are four studs on each side of the ICN that fit into the rail.
Figure 6. Removing ICN from Rails

- Place the old ICN out of the way in a safe area.
- With the slide rails out, install the new ICN, lining up the studs on the ICN with the slots on the rails.
- Slide the ICN back into the PGR cabinet.
- Reconnect all the cables Figure 3.
- Press the release tabs. Push the ICN into the PGR cabinet until the ICN is completely inside and the ICN is locked in place.
- Proceed to Finalization.

Replacing Sun 4100 or Sun 4170 ICN
Procedure
- notice
- Locate the ICNs in the PGR cabinet, about 1/3 way from the top
of the cabinet, above the CAM chassis, on the right side.

Figure 8. ICN Location - 4170

- From the Common Service Desktop, switch the ICNs off ICN On/Off Procedure.
- Perform LOTO on the reconstruction equipment. See the MR Service Safety Manual, PN 5452735.
- On the front of the ICN, undo the thumbscrew on each side of
the ICN to be removed/replaced.
Figure 9. Thumbscrews on ICN Front - 4100

Figure 10. Thumbscrews on ICN Front - 4170

- After the thumbscrews are loose, slide the ICN until the stop is reached at the end of the slide rails.
- Remove all connections from the rear of the ICN. Note the locations
for reinstallation. Be sure that the Ethernet release tabs are completely
pressed before the cables are removed. Remove both AC power plugs.

- Locate the two release tabs on the slide rails. Press each release
tab toward the center of the ICN, and pull the ICN forward until the
rails release and the ICN is free. Place the ICN being replaced to
the side in a safe area.

- Push the slide rails back into the cabinet before inserting
the ICN.
If upgrading from a 4100 to a 4170 model, proceed to Replacing ICN 4100 with 4170/4170 M2.
Otherwise, transfer each inner slide to the sides of the new ICN module.
- Insert the new ICN into the PGR cabinet. Slide the ICN out until the stop is reached at the end of the slide rails. Make sure release tabs are engaged.
- Connect all the cables back in a reverse operation.
- Press the release tabs. Push the ICN into the PGR cabinet until the ICN is completely inside.
- Attach the thumbscrews to the front of the ICN to secure the ICN into the cabinet.

- Attach the slides to the fixed support bracket (5374805) and inside support bracket (5374806) with the M6 nuts previously removed.
- Attach the inside support bracket to the outside support bracket (5374807) using M4 screws (2109866-3) and washers (46-328431P1). See Figure 21.
- Attach the slide rails for the ICN 4170 module to the mounting rails in the PGR cabinet using four M5 screws on each bracket.
- After brackets are secured, pull the slides forward to install the new ICN module.
- Attach each inner slide to the sides of the new ICN module.
- Push the slide rails back into the cabinet before inserting the ICN.
- Insert the new ICN into the PGR cabinet. Slide the ICN out until the stop is reached at the end of the slide rails. Make sure release tabs are engaged.

Finalization
Finalization
-
Remove LOTO from the reconstruction equipment. See the MR Service Safety Manual, PN 5452735.
-
Turn the ICNs on per ICN On/Off Procedure.
note: For the first 3 or 4 minutes, LEDs come on only at the rear of the ICN, next to the power cables. After 3 to 4 minutes, you will hear the ICN fans come on and then the LED at the front of the ICN starts flashing. -
Configure the new ICN VRE configuration and reconfiguration.
-
Perform a test scan to ensure the system is working properly.
