Installing the MMAC-Plus Modules
MMAC-Plus Modules can be installed in any of the 14 slots that are available. To
install, follow the steps below:
1.
Remove the blank panel, covering the slot in which the MMAC-Plus Module
will be installed. All other slots must remain covered to ensure proper airflow
and cooling.
2.
Unpack the MMAC-Plus Module by carefully removing it from the shipping
box. (Save the box and packing materials in the event the module must be
reshipped.)
3.
Attach one end of the ESD wrist strap packaged with the MMAC-Plus chassis
to your wrist. Plug the other end into the ESD Wrist Strap Grounding
receptacle in the lower right corner of the MMAC-Plus Chassis shown in
Figure 2-1.
4.
Remove the MMAC-Plus Module from the plastic bag. (Save the bag in the
event the module must be reshipped.) Observe all precautions to prevent
damage from Electrostatic Discharge (ESD).
5.
Examine the MMAC-Plus Module, carefully checking for damage. If any
damage exists, DO NOT install the module. Immediately contact Cabletron
Systems Technical Support.
6.
Install the MMAC-Plus Module in the chassis by sliding it in any available
slot and locking down the top and bottom plastic tabs, as shown in Figure 2-1.
Take care that each module slides in straight and properly engages the
backplane connectors. When installing a module, ensure that the circuit card
is between the card guides, as shown in Figure 2-1. Check both the upper and
lower tracks.
