It may be necessary at some point for you to upgrade or replace your SSR 2000’s
expansion module(s) after receiving your SSR 2000 from Cabletron. Although you can
install any of the available expansion modules in either of the SSR 2000’s expansion slots,
Figure 12 shows an example of how to install a 1000BASE-SX or 1000BASE-LX gigabit
expansion module. The procedure following the figure describes how to install the
expansion module.
To install a 1000BASE-SX or 1000BASE-LX gigabit expansion module:
1. Ensure that the SSR 2000 is powered off.
2. If your SSR 2000 is equipped for rackmountability, use the phillips-head screwdriver
to remove the mounting brackets from each side of the SSR 2000.
3. Take off the SSR 2000’s top cover.
a. Use the phillips-head screwdriver to remove the four mounting screws (two on
each side of the router, front and back) that hold the top cover on the SSR 2000.

b. Slide the cover away from the front of the SSR 2000 about 1/2”, then lift it away
from the SSR 2000.
4. Use the phillips-head screwdriver to remove the four mounting screws in the existing
face plate or cover plate corresponding to the expansion slot where you plan to install
the 1000BASE-SX or 1000BASE-LX gigabit expansion module. Be sure not to damage
or remove the conductive tape on the inside of the chassis, both above and below the
expansion slot opening.
