Install a Port Card
The port cards are hot-swappable.
1. Locate an unused slot.
In the M4300-96X switch, slots 1–6 support PoE/PoE+. You can install an
APM408P port card in any slot, but the port card can provide PoE power only
when it is installed in slots 1–6.
2. Pull down the handle on the port card.
3. Insert the port card into the slot, and gently push the port card into the slot.
CAUTION:
When inserting the port card, do not use unnecessary force.
Doing so can damage the connectors on the back of the port card.
4. To secure the port card in the switch, lift the handle to the top of the port
card.
For information about the port LED behavior, see the table on the other side
of this document.
