Installing an Interface Module
Procedure
Step 1
Before inserting an interface module, make sure that the chassis is grounded.
Step 2
To insert the interface module, carefully align the edges of the interface module between the upper and lower
edges of the router slot.
Step 3
Carefully slide the interface module into the router slot until the interface module makes contact with the
backplane. The figure below shows how to install the interface module.

Step 4
ITighten the locking thumbscrews on both sides of the interface module. The recommended maximum torque
is 5.5 in.-lb (.62 N-m).
Step 5
Connect all the cables to each interface module.
What to do next
Do not use interface module and power supply ejector handles to lift the chassis; using the handles to lift the
chassis can deform or damage the handles.
Caution
Close all unused RJ-45, SFP, XFP, and QSFP ports on the interface module using the appropriate dust caps
to prevent dust from accumulating inside the cage. For information on dust caps, see
