CHAPTER 6
ADDING/SWAPPING MODULES
Once you have received your ATX, you may want to add a new module to
expand your network bandwidth, replace a module with a module of a
different type, or swap a module with another module of the same type . If
you are:
• Adding a 3F00-01 or 3F55-01 to a previously vacant slot or to a slot
that had a different type of module (which includes replacing a
3F00-01 with a 3F55-01), see Adding a 3F00-01 or 3F55-01 below,
for instructions.
• Replacing a 3F00-01 with another 3F00-01 or replacing a 3F55-01
with another 3F55-01, see Swapping a 3F00-01 or 3F55-01 for
instructions.
The 3F00-01and 3F55-01 can be installed in any slot and you can install
multiple modules in an ATX.
6.1 UNPACKING THE SWITCH MODULE
Unpack the 3F00-01 or 3F55-01 carefully, handling it by the edges only,
and inspect it for possible damage. If any damage is evident, contact
Cabletron Systems Global Call Center. Save the original container and
antistatic wrap in case the module needs to be repaired.
6.2 ADDING A 3F00-01 OR 3F55-01
If the module you are adding is different from the type of module that was
in the slot earlier, or if the slot was vacant, you have to reboot the ATX so
it will recognize the new module. (Replacing a 3F00-01 with a 3F55-01 is
considered replacing a module of a different type.)
If the module you are adding has a different number of ports than the
module you are removing, before you can power cycle the ATX, you
must:
• Delete all static addresses
• Delete all ARP addresses and IP routing table entries
• Delete all filters
