Installing and Removing Modules
This section describes the installation of IOMs, and Fabric and Control Modules. Although you can populate any empty slot with its appropriate module, all chassis are delivered without coverplates on the IOM, and Fabric and Control Module slots labeled as 1. Slots accept modules that are sized appropriately for those slots only. That is, only IOMs can fit into IOM slots, Fabric Modules into FM slots, and Control Modules into CM slots.
Installing and Removing IOMs
To install an IOM module, refer to the figures as indicated in the steps below and proceed as follows:
1.Locate the ESD wrist strap shipped with the Matrix X16‐C chassis. Attach the ESD wrist strap to your wrist and plug the cable from the ESD wrist strap into the ESD grounding receptacle at the bottom of the chassis as shown in Figure 3‐10.
2.Unpack the module by taking it from its shipping box, removing any packaging materials, and removing the module from its protective plastic bag. (Save the shipping box and materials in the event the unit must be reshipped.)
3.Examine the module carefully, checking for damage. If any damage is found, do not install it. Contact Enterasys Networks for instructions.
