how to install ATEN VM1600A Power Module
- Power down the VM1600A system only if your maintenance policy requires it; the VM1600A Power Module is designed for hot-swapping, but consult your organizational guidelines before proceeding in high-availability environments.
- Locate the current VM1600A power module slot on the back or designated power bay of the matrix switch chassis.
- Release the existing module by carefully disengaging the securing latch or connector as specified by ATEN’s installation guide, then slide the module out of its slot.
- Align the replacement VM1600A Power Module with the slot and insert it firmly until it seats fully with a gentle, even pressure. Ensure any locking mechanism engages to secure the module in place.
- Reconnect any power cabling or connectors associated with the module, and verify that the module’s status indicators illuminate appropriately to indicate healthy operation.
- Power on the VM1600A system (if you powered down) and monitor the status indicators. Confirm that the matrix switch functions normally and that video/data routing remains stable.
- Dispose of the old module per your facility’s environmental and IT asset disposition policies, and label the new module for asset tracking and future maintenance.
