Installing Module into Matrix E7 or N7 Chassis
Preparation
1.Remove the blank panel covering the module slot in which the module will be installed. All other slots must remain covered to ensure proper airflow for cooling. (Save the blank plate in the event you need to remove the module.)
2.Remove the module from the shipping box. (Save the box and packing materials in the event the module needs to be reshipped.)
3.Locate the antistatic wrist strap shipped with the 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 chassis.
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 Enterasys Networks. Refer to “Getting Help” on page xiii.

To install the module in the Matrix E7 or Matrix N7, refer to Figure 3‐1 and proceed as follows:
Caution: To prevent damaging the backplane connectors in the following step, take care that the module slides in straight and properly engages the backplane connectors.
Ensure that the top lever lines up with the desired slot number located on the front panel of the chassis. Refer to Figure
Precaución: Para evitar que se dañen los conectores del panel posterior en el siguiente paso, intente deslizar el módulo en forma recta y verifique que se enganche correctamente en los conectores de panel posterior.
Asegúrese de que la palanca superior esté alineada con respecto al número de ranura correspondiente ubicado en el panel frontal del chasis. Consulte en Figure
1.Locate the chassis card guides that line up with the slot number in which the module will be installed. (In this example, slot 1 is being used.) Make sure the module locking levers are in the open position (top and bottom).
2.Align the module card between the upper and lower card guides of the desired slot and slide it into the chassis, taking care that the module slides in straight. See Caution below.
Caution: Due to the amount of force needed to properly seat the module connectors into the backplane connectors, it is best to apply force to the end of the levers to insert (or eject) the module. Otherwise, damage could result to the module and chassis.
Precaución: Para colocar los conectores del módulo en los conectores del panel posterior correctamente es necesario hacer bastante fuerza, por ello, para insertar o quitar el módulo, se recomienda concentrar la fuerza en el extremo de las palancas. Si no lo hace, podría dañar el módulo y el chasis.
3.Slide the module into the slot until you can engage the top and bottom locking levers with the chassis as shown in Figure 3‐1.
