Using the 8-port TokenSpeed and TokenSpeed/MCP Switch Modules

Installing the TokenSpeed Module
You can insert or remove a TokenSpeed module from a switch chassis while the
power is on without interrupting service in the other installed modules. This
ability is referred to as “hot swapping.”
To install and secure the module in the chassis, follow these steps:
1.
Remove the filler panel.
a.
Loosen the two captive retaining screws on a filler panel until they
pop free of the chassis frame.
Caution: Centillion modules use electronic components that are sensitive to
static electricity. Static discharge from your clothing or other items around
you, even at levels that do not create a spark, can cause damage. Take all
possible precautions to prevent static discharge damage when working with
printed circuit boards.
Keep each board in its protective conductive bag until you are ready to install
it. If possible, place all printed circuit boards on an antistatic mat and wear a
grounded antistatic wrist strap and leash to free yourself of static.
If you lack a grounded antistatic wrist strap and mat, be careful to stand in one
place where you work (so you do not generate static electricity by friction) and
to free yourself of static by touching the metal of a grounded chassis before
handling a printed circuit board.
Note: A TokenSpeed module can be hot inserted into a switch chassis at any
time. However, before removing an active module from a switch chassis, you
must deactivate the module by either unplugging all port cables or disabling all
ports on the module. For additional information, see
“Removing and
Replacing a Module ” on page 3-11 .
