3.Locate the antistatic wrist strap shipped with the 6C105 chassis. Attach the antistatic wrist strap to your wrist and plug the cable from the antistatic wrist strap into the ESD grounding receptacle at the upper right corner of the 6C105.

4.Remove the 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 module for damage. If any damage exists, DO NOT install the module. Immediately contact Cabletron Systems. Refer to Section 1.2.

To prevent damaging the backplane connectors in the following step, take care that the

!module slides in straight and properly engages the backplane connectors.

CAUTION

NOTE

In the following step, ensure that the top plastic locking tab lines up with the desired slot number located on the front panel of the chassis. Refer to Figure 3-1.

6.Locate the slot guides that line up with the number of the slot in which the module will be installed. Install the module in the chassis by aligning the module circuit card between the upper and lower metal rail guides of the desired slot, sliding it into the chassis, and locking down the top and bottom plastic locking tabs, as shown in Figure 3-1. Take care that the module slides in straight and properly engages the backplane connectors.

7.If the chassis in which the module is installed was powered down for the installation, turn it back on. Check to see that the CPU LED settles at solid green after a few minutes. If the LED does not turn solid green, refer to Chapter 4 for details.
