Installing the 10Base-FL Module in an
Unused Slot
Caution
Static electricity can severely damage the sensitive electronic components on
the HP AdvanceStack Switch 10Base-FL module. When handling and installing
the module in your switch, follow these procedures to avoid damage from
static electricity:
■
Handle the module by its edges and avoid touching the components and
the circuitry on the board.
■
Equalize any static charge difference between your body and the switch
by wearing a grounding wrist strap and attaching it to the switch’s metal
body, or by continually touching the switch’s metal body while you are
installing the module.
For proper cooling and reduction of electromagnetic emissions, ensure that
a slot cover is installed on any unused port or transceiver slot.
1.
Slide out the blank LED label strip from the label slot corresponding to
the physical slot in which you will install the module. The LED label strips
have a small loop on the left end. Use your fingernail or a small implement
to catch the loop and slide the label to the left and out of the label slot.
Then insert the LED label strip you received with the 10Base-FL Module.
For example, if you are going to install the module in slot “A”, you would
replace the blank LED label strip in label slot “A” with the new LED label
strip for the 10Base-FL Module. (Refer to figure 2.)
Save the blank LED label strip in case you ever want to remove the module
and its LED label strip.
2.
Using a Torx T-10 or slotted screw driver, unscrew the screws in the cover
plate over the slot you want to use, and remove the cover. Store the cover
plate with its screws for possible future use. For example, to install a
module in slot A, see figure 2.
