Removing I/O Modules
Extreme Networks Consolidated "e" and "i" Series Hardware Installation Guide 207
To remove an I/O module:
1 Attach the ESD strap to your wrist and connect the metal end to the ground receptacle on the top
right corner of the switch front panel.
2 Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the two captive screws.
3 Simultaneously rotate the ejector/injector levers away from the center of the module to disengage
the module from the backplane.
4 Hold the module front panel with one hand, and place your other hand under the metal panel to
support the module.
CAUTION
To prevent ESD damage, handle the module by the metal panel edges only. Never touch the
components on the PCB or pins on any of the connectors.
5 Slide the module out of the chassis.
6 Immediately place the module into an antistatic sack to protect it from ESD damage and to prevent
dust from collecting on the module’s connectors.
7 If you are not going to install a replacement I/O module, cover the slot with a blank faceplate.
Otherwise, follow the I/O module installation procedure on page 204.
To remove additional modules, repeat steps 2 through 6.
Leave the ESD strap permanently connected to the chassis so that it is always available when you need
to handle ESD-sensitive components.
