Installing an Optional Module
Figure 3-6 Installing an Optional Module
Caution: DO NOT install slide-in modules with the switch powered on.
Be sure you power off the switch before installing any module.
To install an optional module into the switch, do the following:
1. Disconnect power to the switch.
2. Remove the blank metal plate (or a previously installed module) from
the appropriate port by removing the two screws with a flat-head
screwdriver.
3. With the module still in the anti-static bag, touch the metal frame of
the switch to prevent damage caused by static electricity discharge.
Also, it is recommended to use an ESD wrist strap during installation.
4. Remove the module from the anti-static shielded bag.
5. Holding the module level, guide it into the carrier rails on each side
and gently push it all the way into the port, ensuring that it firmly
engages with the connector.
