Installing the Frame Relay Module
The Frame Relay Module (FRM) is shipped with a cable that connects the
module’s RJ45 LAN (Ethernet or Token Ring, depending on the model) con-
nector to a LAN interface, located either on an interface module in the Smart-
Switch 9000 or external to the rack. If the FRM will connect to an interface
module in the SmartSwitch 9000, install the FRM into the nearest available
slot. Otherwise, the FRM can be installed into any available slot.
To install the FRM, follow these steps:
1. Remove the blank panel covering the slot.
All slots without modules must be covered when the
SmartSwitch 9000 is operational, to ensure proper
airflow and cooling.
2. Carefully remove the FRM from the shipping box. (Save the box and
packing materials in the event the FRM must be reshipped.)
3. Attach one end of the ESD wrist strap (packaged with the SmartSwitch
9000 chassis) to your wrist. Plug the other end into the ESD Wrist Strap
Grounding receptacle in the lower right corner of the SmartSwitch 9000
Chassis shown in Figure 1.
4. Remove the FRM from its anti-static bag. Observe all precautions to
prevent damage from Electrostatic Discharge (ESD).
5. Carefully examine the FRM, checking for damage. If any damage exists,
DO NOT install the module. Instead, contact Cabletron Systems Tech-
nical Support:

6. Before installing the FRM into the chassis, ensure that the bottom and top
plastic tabs are unlocked. Slide the card into an available slot and ensure
that the circuit card is between the card guides, as shown in Figure 1.
Check both the upper and lower tracks. Take care that the module slides
in straight and engages the backplane connectors properly. Lock down the
top and bottom plastic tabs at the same time, applying even pressure.
