  2. Disconnect all Ethernet wires from the switch.

    Pinch the Ethernet connector latch to disengage the connector.

    When reconnecting Ethernet wires to the replacement Ethernet switch, all ports are equivalent.

    When installing the replacement Ethernet switch, torque the fasteners to 3.4 Nm (30 in-lb).
  4. Remove the Ethernet switch from the back wall of the cabinet.

  5. On the left side of the Ethernet switch, use a 3 mm flat head screwdriver to loosen the set screws securing the 24 V DC wires. Do not remove the screws.

  6. Remove the 24 V DC wires (x2) from the terminal block.

    When installing the replacement Ethernet switch, reinstall the 24 V DC wires into the same terminals. Reinstall the red wire to the positive (+) terminal, and the black wire to the negative (-) terminal.
