Before installing a media module, refer to the module-specific installation instructions that accompany your
module (See the Media Module Reference Guide). Some media modules require the installation of
daughter cards before the module is installed in the switch).
Note: It is not necessary to power down the switch when installing or removing media modules. You can
install or remove all media modules without disrupting switch operation.

Guidelines for installing 8260 ATM media modules
Observe these guidelines when handling, installing, or removing an ATM module.
Cautionary Guidelines
Before you begin to install a module, review the following guidelines when handling a module:
Ÿ
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage static-sensitive devices on circuit boards:
– Do not remove the module from its anti-static shielding bag until you are ready to install it.
– To ensure that static charge is removed, touch any installed module's fastener screw before
installing the module. This dissipates charge energy through the chassis to the grounded power
cord.
– Handle the module by the faceplate only.
Ÿ
Do not twist or otherwise force modules into the switch.
