Installing an Expansion Module
Warning
:
Before performing any upgrade or installation procedures, ensure that the
SSR 2000 is powered off and that you are properly “grounded” to avoid electrostatic
discharge while working inside the SSR 2000’s chassis.
It may be necessary at some point for you to upgrade or replace your SSR 2000’s
expansion module(s) after receiving your SSR 2000 from Cabletron. You can install any of
the available expansion modules in either of the SSR 2000’s expansion slots, and Figure 1
shows an example of how to install an expansion module. The procedure following the
figure describes how to install the expansion module.
Note:
You can also reference material on installing an expansion module in the
SmartSwitch Router 2000 Getting Started Guide
.
To install an expansion module:
1.
Ensure that the SSR 2000 is powered off.
2.
If your SSR 2000 is equipped for rackmountability, use the phillips-head screwdriver
to remove the mounting brackets from each side of the SSR 2000.
3.
Take off the SSR 2000’s top cover.
a.
Use the phillips-head screwdriver to remove the four mounting screws (two on
each side of the router, front and back) that hold the top cover on the SSR 2000.
Figure 1. Removing the SSR 2000s cover
b. Slide the cover away from the front of the SSR 2000 about 1/2”, then lift it away
from the SSR 2000.
4.
Use the phillips-head screwdriver to remove the four mounting screws in the existing
face plate or cover plate corresponding to the expansion slot where you plan to install
the expansion module. Be sure not to damage or remove the conductive tape on the
inside of the chassis, both above and below the expansion slot opening. (See Figure 2,
below.)
