Module Installation
Procedure
If the chassis is powered on when you install a module, power is applied to the
module as soon as its rear connector makes contact with the connector that is
inside the slot.
To install a Switch Fabric Management Module or interface module, follow these
steps:
1
Before you start the installation process, read all the safety and handling
precautions, and installation prerequisites that are noted earlier in this chapter.
2
Select a slot for the module, following the guidelines in “Slot Restrictions” on
page 58.
3
If you are installing a module in a previously unused slot, remove the blank
faceplate.
Save this faceplate in case you need it in the future. Empty slots must be covered
to ensure proper airflow and cooling in the chassis.
If you are installing multiple modules, 3Com recommends that you remove only
one faceplate at a time so that there are either modules or blank faceplates
adjacent to the slot that you have selected. Having these items on either side helps
you to install a module correctly.
WARNING:
To ensure adequate cooling air flow and continued product safety
agency compliance, install blank faceplates over all empty slots.
4
Remove the module from its antistatic bag and open the two module ejector
handles so that they are nearly perpendicular to the front panel.
5
Hold the module vertically with the LEDs at the top and begin to insert the module
into the guides on the top and the bottom of the slot. Figure 21 on page 61
shows the module position in the chassis.
CAUTION:
Do not twist or bend the module when you insert it into the chassis.
6
Slide the module into the chassis by pushing firmly on the two ends of the front
panel near the ejector handles.
WARNING:
Hazardous energy exists inside the chassis. Do not place hands or
objects into the chassis or touch components on an inserted module.
