with the module and must be purchased separately. For more information on

.
Unpacking the Module
1. Carefully remove the module from the shipping box. (Save the box and
packing materials in the event the module must be reshipped.)
2. Remove the module from the plastic bag. Observe all precautions to prevent
damage from Electrostatic Discharge (ESD).
3. Carefully examine the module, checking for damage. If any damage exists,
DO NOT install the module. Contact Cabletron Systems Technical Support
