Installing the 9E428 and 9E429 Modules
Installing the Module in the SmartSwitch 9000
Chassis
To install the 9E428-12/36 and the 9E429-12/36 modules in the SmartSwitch 9000
chassis, follow the steps below:
1. Remove the blank panel covering the slot in which the module will be
mounted. All other slots must be covered to ensure proper airflow and
cooling.
2. Attach one end of the ESD wrist strap (packaged with the SmartSwitch 9000
chassis) to your wrist. Plug the other end into the jack for the ESD Wrist Strap
in the lower right corner of the SmartSwitch 9000 chassis shown in Figure 2-3.
3. Install the module in the chassis by sliding it into slots and locking down both
the top and bottom plastic tabs, as shown in Figure 2-3. Take care that the
module is between the card guides as shown, it slides in straight, and engages
the backplane connectors properly.
