1.2 Policy Statement
Mellanox Technologies recognizes the importance of developing connectivity solutions that
not only enable our customers to optimize their data centers performance, but also protect the
environment and ensure that future generations enjoy its bounties. Mellanox Technologies is
committed, therefore, to meeting the requirements of the European Union’s WEEE (waste
electrical and electronic equipment) directive. The directive mandates how the materials used
in electrical and electronic equipment must be disposed of.
Mellanox Technologies has worked closely with its suppliers to eliminate hazardous materials
from its products. There are instances, however, where it has not proven possible to
completely eliminate all hazardous materials. Consequently, all applicable products are
labeled with a crossed out “wheelie” bin symbol, indicating that special care must be applied
to their disposal and / or recycling.

2 Dismantling Instructions
This document provides detailed instructions for the dismantling procedure. Follow the
instructions in the order they are presented.
NOTE: The figures in this guide are based on SX6018/SX6025/SX6036/SX1036
SwitchX switch systems, but apply to MetroX switch systems as well, despite their
different front panel.
2.1 Switch Components
Switch systems are comprised of:
1. Main board
2. CPU board with battery –– Not found on unmanaged switches
3. Fan unit
4. Harnesses
5. Power Supply Unit (PSU)
6. Cover
7. Secondary boards

2.2 General Preparations
The switch system is assembled using Philips screws and handles with snap in latches for
modules. To disassemble the switch system you will need a small Philips screwdriver.
The pictures displayed in the following pages provide visual guidance explaining how to
remove the modules from the mechanical base.
2.3 Power Supply Unit Extraction
Figure 4 –Power Side of the Switch
To extract the PSU:
1. Remove the power cord from the power supply unit.
2. Grasping the handle with one hand, push the latch release with your thumb while pulling
the handle outward.
3. Remove the PSU.
4. Repeat the procedure for the second PSU if there is one.
5. If there is only one PSU, remove the blank cover.

2.4 Fan Unit Extraction
To extract a fan unit push both latch releases simultaneously while pulling the fan module out
of the switch.
Figure 6 –Extracting the Fan Unit
These two latches must be pushed towards each other at the same time while the module is
pulled out.
2.5 Cover Extraction
Unscrew all of the screws from the top and sides of the cover.
Slide the cover to the power side and remove the cover.
