Installing the Ethernet Switching Module
Step 3
Depending on the orientation of the slots in the chassis (horizontal or vertical), perform one of the
following two sets of steps:
Horizontal slots
a.
Position the module in the slot. (See
Figure 35
.) Make sure that you align the sides of the module
carrier with the slot guides on each side of the slot.
b.
Carefully slide the module into the slot until the EMI gasket along the top edge of the module makes
contact with the module in the slot above it and both ejector levers have closed to approximately
45 degrees with respect to the module faceplate. (See
Figure 36
.)
c.
Using the thumb and forefinger of each hand, grasp the two ejector levers and press down to create
a small 0.040 inch (1 mm) gap between the module’s EMI gasket and the module above it. (See
Figure 36
.)
Caution
Do not press down too forcefully on the levers because they will bend and get damaged.
d.
While pressing down, simultaneously close the left and right ejector levers to fully seat the module
in the backplane connector. The ejector levers are fully closed when they are flush with the module
faceplate. (See
Figure 37
.)
Note
Failure to fully seat the module in the backplane connector can result in error messages.
e.
Tighten the two captive installation screws on the module.
Note
Make sure that the ejector levers are fully closed before tightening the captive installation
screws.
f.
Verify that the module STATUS LED is lit. Periodically check the STATUS LED. If the STATUS
LED changes from orange to green, the module has successfully completed the boot process and is
now online. If the STATUS LED remains orange or turns red, the module has not successfully
completed the boot process and may have encountered an error.
