Installing the Module into the SmartSwitch 9000 Chassis

To install the SmartSwitch 9000 module, follow the steps below:

NOTE

The INB Terminator Modules must be installed on the rear of the fourteen slot chassis before powering up this module. The INB Terminator Modules are not required on the six slot chassis. Refer to the INB Terminator Modules Installation Guide for information and installation procedure.

1.Remove the blank panel covering the two slots in which the module is being installed. All other slots must be covered, if other modules are not being installed, to ensure proper airflow and cooling.

2.Attach one end of the ESD wrist strap packaged with the SmartSwitch 9000 chassis to your wrist. Plug the other end into the ESD Wrist Strap Grounding receptacle in the lower right corner of the SmartSwitch 9000 chassis shown in Figure 2-2.

3.Grasp the module and slide it into the slots. Make sure that the module’s circuit card is between the card guides, as shown in Figure 2-2. Check both the upper and lower tracks of the card. Take care that the module slides in straight and engages the backplane connectors properly.

4.Lock down the top and bottom plastic tabs, as shown in Figure 2-2.
