Installing and Removing Modules
The procedure for installing modules is to remove the filler panels, and install the
module. Then fasten with the two ejector levers at the top of the module and tighten the
thumb screw on top of the levers. The following procedure has the details.
Avoid Electrostatic Damage!
I
MPORTANT
:
Always take precautions to avoid electrostatic damage during control card
and module installation:
•
Always use an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good
skin contact. The strap can be connected to one of the following:
•
ESD wrist strap connector. The GigaVUE-HC3 chassis provides a connector at
the front of the chassis for this purpose labeled with a ground symbol.
•
Captive installation screws on an installed module or power supply module.
•
Any unpainted surface on the chassis.
•
Handle cards by the edges only.
•
Avoid contact between the cards and clothing. The wrist strap protects only the
module from ESD voltages on the body. ESD voltages on clothing can still cause
damage.
Hot Swapping Modules
Modules are hot-swappable – they can be installed or removed from the chassis with
the power on.
To remove a module safely with the power on,
you must follow the
procedure
in
Module Removal and Replacement Procedure (Hot Removal)
Install proper software versions prior to inserting any new modules.
Gigamon often makes new modules available for GigaVUE-HC3 nodes. New modules
are usually introduced starting with a new software release. Make sure you install the
supporting software release before physically installing the new module.
If you do install a new module before its supporting release, the module will appear in
show cards
output with an
Operational Status
of
unsupported
.
In some cases, if you subsequently upgrade the node to the release that does support
the new module, it can appear persistently in the
show cards
output with an
Operational Status
of
inserted
. To make the module operational, you must
unconfigure it with the
no card slot
x
command, followed by configuring the module
with
