Install I/O Modules in a Fabric Interconnect

To install I/O modules, follow this procedure:
1.
Install the I/O modules as shown in the following illustration (1). Ensure that
the module's component side is facing towards the right edge of the chassis.
Also, ensure that the module's top and bottom edges are correctly aligned with
the upper and lower tracks at the left edge of each module slot. See Figure 43,
“Installing a Fabric Interconnect F1-15 I/O Module,” on page 71 .

bottom edge of the module's rear panel.

The Fabric Interconnect F1-4 I/O Modules contain a locking mechanism (a quarter-turn Pawl)
that is built-in to the module's handle. The lock is used to secure the module in place while
it is inserted in the chassis, and has been designed with enough resistance that it cannot be
unlocked or completely locked with your fingers. As a result, the module's handle is slotted to
accept a screwdriver, which you will need to use to generate enough torque to lock or unlock
the module.
By default, the Fabric Interconnect F1-4 is shipped with module blanks instead of the actual I/O
Modules. I/O module blanks also have the locking mechanism. When you are initially installing
I/O Modules, make sure to use the lock and unlocked positions appropriately—for example,
make sure that you lock the modules when you are done installing them.
Oracle recommends that you keep all module blanks.
