The SSD is located under a crosspoint module on top of the panel. To complete this procedure
you must remove the module, locate and replace the SSD, and then replace the module.
To Replace the SSD in a 4882AR Panel
To replace the SSD you will need the following:
- Set of Module Extraction Tools located in the Desk Mounting Kit of your control panel.
- Torx® T10 screwdriver.
To Remove a Module
- Power off the control panel and disconnect the all power connections.
- Locate the set of Module Extraction Tools that came in the Desk Mounting Kit of your control panel.
- Locate a panel module you need to remove to access the inside of the panel. The module depends on the size of the control panel.
- TD 1C — Remove the top module from the panel.
- TD 1 and Larger — Remove the right-most crosspoint module from the lowest panel row.
- TD 1C — Remove the top module from the panel.
- Use a Torx® T10 screwdriver to remove the screws securing the module into the panel.
- Screw the Module Extraction Tool into the holes at either end of the module to unseat it from the panel.
- Use the Module Extraction Tool to lift the module slowly until you feel some resistance. The metal top of the module should just clear the surface of the panel.
- Shift the module slightly to the left. The metal top of the module should just slightly overlap the surface of the panel.
- Lift up on the opposite side of the module to rotate that end up until the circuit board is clear of the panel surface.
- Shift the module back so that it is free of the panel surface and rotate the module away from you until you can access the cables connected to the bottom of the module.
- Remove the cables from the bottom of the module and place the module on a clean, dry, static-free surface.
SSD replacement
- With the module removed you can access the SSD.
- Carefully remove the retaining screw from the SSD drive. If the CPU is on an angle the screw may fall into the panel when it is removed.
- Pivot the SSD up and pull it out of the port.
- Insert the new M.2 SATA SSD into the port and use the retaining screw to secure it into position.
- Replace the crosspoint module. Refer to To Install a Module for instructions on installing this module.
To Install a Module
- Screw the Module Extraction Tool into the holes at either end of the module.
- Identify the power and communications cables for the module you are installing.
- Connect the power cable to the 2-pin connector on the bottom of the module.
- Connect the communications cable into the PREV port on the module.
- Slowly angle the module into the opening in the control panel and shift the module slightly to the left. The metal top of the module should just slightly overlap the surface of the panel.
- Lower the opposite end of the module into the opening. You may have the shift the module over more or less the get the opposite end to fit into the opening.
- Seat the module into the opening and remove the Module Extraction Tool.
- Use a Torx® T10 screwdriver to install the screws securing the module into the panel.
- Run an OS recovery to reinstall operating system and software on TouchDrive (Instructions here TD OS recovery)
