Installing MPUs/service modules
IMPORTANT:
•
Before installing a module in the chassis, make sure the connectors on the module are not broken or
blocked to avoid damaging the backplane.
•
To ensure good ventilation, install a blank filler panel in an empty slot.
•
Before you install a module that has a protection box, remove the protection box from the module as
follows:
a.
Loosen the captive screws that secure the module to the protection box.
b.
Pull the ejector levers of the module outwards.
c.
Pull the module out of the protection box.
The installation procedures for MPUs and service modules are the same. Unless otherwise stated,
MPUs and service modules are collectively referred to as "modules" in this document.
These modules are hot swappable.
To install a module:
1.
Wear an ESD wrist strap, and make sure it has good skin contact and is reliably grounded. For
more information, see "
."
2.
Remove the blank filler (if any) from the slot to be used. Keep the blank filler secure for future
use.
3.
Rotate out the ejector levers on the module.
4.
Hold the module by the front panel with one hand and support the module bottom with the other
(do not touch its circuit). Slide the module steadily into the slot along the guide rails until you
cannot push the module further.
5.
Rotate in the ejector levers on the module.
6.
Fasten the captive screws on the module.
