Installing 5C105 Interface Modules
The 5C105 Interface Modules can be installed in any of the 5 slots that are available. To install a
module, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the blank panel covering the slot in which the Interface Module will be installed. All
other slots must remain covered to ensure proper airflow and cooling. (Save the blank plate in
the event you need to remove the module.)
2. Carefully remove the module from the shipping box. (Save the box and packing materials in the
event the module must be reshipped.)
3. Locate the ESD wrist strap shipped with the 5C105. Attach the ESD wrist strap to your wrist
and plug the cable from the ESD wrist strap into the ESD grounding receptacle at the upper right
corner of the 5C105.
4. Remove the module from the plastic bag. (Save the bag in the event the module must be
reshipped.) Observe all precautions to prevent damage from Electrostatic Discharge (ESD).
5. Examine the module for damage. If any damage exists, DO NOT install the module.
Immediately contact the Enterasys Networks.
6. Locate the slot guides that line up with the number of the slot in which the module will be
installed. Install the Interface Module in the chassis by aligning the module circuit card between
the upper and lower metal rail guides of the desired slot, sliding it into the chassis, and locking
down the top and bottom plastic locking tabs, as shown in
Figure 3-5
. Take care that the
Interface Module slides in straight and properly engages the backplane connectors.
CAUTION: To prevent damaging the backplane connectors in the following step, take
care that the module slides in straight and properly engages the backplane connectors.
NOTE: In the following step ensure that the top plastic locking tab lines up with the
desired slot number located on the front panel of the chassis. Refer to
Figure 3-4
