3.3.2 Mounting the Switch on a Workbench
If a standard 19-inch cabinet is unavailable, you can mount the switch onto a workbench with the following 2 steps.
Attach the foot pads delivered with the switch to small holes at the bottom of the switch .
Place the switch on the workbench and m aintain a minimum clearance of 10 cm (3.94 in.) around the chassis to
facilitate ventilation.
3.4 Installing and Removing the Expansion Module
M5000X Series Expansion Module is not hot-swappable.
Wear anti-static gloves before the following operations.
Installing an M 5000X Series Expansion M odule
Step 1: Take off the filler panel in the expansion module slot on the front panel of a RG-S5700-X series switch.
Step 2: Take out a new expansion module. Pinch the captive screws on the module. Align the expansion module with the
guide rail of the corresponding slot and straightly and slowly insert the module into the chassis along the guide rail until it
clicks into place.
Step 3: Fasten captive screws with a screwdriver to secure the expansion module in the switch chassis.
Figure 3-3 Installing an Expansion Module
Insert the expansion module smoothly. Pay attention to the direction of the expansion panel to avoid wrong
insertion.
Do not hold the PCB edges or crash the components on the PCB.
Insert the expansion module into the chassis gently. If it is difficult to push it, pull the expansion module out and check
whether it is aligned with the expansion module slot. If yes, proceed with the operation.
If the screws cannot be tightened, it is probably because the expansion module is not fully inserted. Please have a
double check.
Removing an M 5000X Series Expansion Module
Step 1: Unplug all cables on the panels like optical fiber and RJ45 twisted pairs.
Step 2: Use the screwdriver to loosen the captive screws of the expansion module.
Step 3: Pinch the captive screws and pull out the expansion module along the guide rail straightly and slowly.
Step 4: Install a filler panel in a vacant slot and put the removed expansion module into its package.
