Installing a Fabric Module
Before You Begin
•
You must wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap or other ESD protective device while handling
modules.
•
Prepare an antistatic surface or packing materials for each module that you remove from the chassis.
Step 1
Place one hand on the front of the module and turn the module 90 degrees so that the electrical connectors are on the
bottom.
Step 2
Unscrew the two captive screws (one on each ejector handle) and rotate the ejector handles away from the chassis (see
Callouts 1 and 2 in the following figure). Be sure that the locking posts on the top and bottom of the chassis (see Callout
3) rotate into the module so that the module can slide fully into the slot.
