Installing external removable
components
CAUTION:
•
Install a module or filler panel in each slot. Make sure no slot is empty during the device
operation.
•
Keep the filler panels, package boxes, and package bags secure for future use.
•
Do not hold the handle of a power supply or of a module to move the device. Doing so might
cause device damage.
Installing MIC-X interface cards
CAUTION:
•
Do not install a MIC-X interface card when the device is operating.
•
To avoid configuration loss of a MIC-X interface card, first install it on a FIP module, and then
install the FIP module with it on the device.
•
To install two MIC-X interface cards on the FIP module, install one first in slot 2 and then another
in slot 1 as a best practice. Otherwise, the access panel of the device might hinder the interface
card installation in slot 2. If you have installed an interface card in slot 1, you must press down the
ejector levers of the interface card and then insert it into slot 2 slowly.
To install an MIC-X interface card:
1.
Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure the strap makes good skin contact and is reliably
grounded.
2.
Identify the target slot on the FIP module.
3.
Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the captive screws on the filler panel. Insert a flat-head
screwdriver into the hole on the filler panel to pull the filler panel out the slot.
Keep the removed filler panel secure.
