Installing and Removing an IOM
3.Unpack the module by taking it from its shipping box and 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.)
4.Examine the module carefully, checking for damage. If any damage is found, do not install it. Contact Enterasys Networks for instructions.
5.Remove the coverplate from a slot by loosening the coverplate’s two captive screws.
6.Insert the IOM in the guide rail of the slot. Gently slide the module into the slot, as shown in Figure 2‐4, until the IOM engages the connector on the backplane and is flush with adjoining coverplates.
Once the connection is made, the slot’s status LED flashes green and IOM initialization begins. The IOM initialization lasts for approximately thirty seconds to allow enough time to tighten the IOM’s captive screws. When initialization is complete the slot’s status LED turns solid green and the IOM is ready for use.

7.If you are installing additional modules, wait until the slot status LED for the previously installed IOM is solid green before repeating this procedure to install additional modules. Save coverplates for optional future use.
8.After completing all module installations, be sure to install coverplate(s) over any unused IOM slot(s) to contain EMI radiation and ensure proper air circulation.
IOM Initialization Behavior
The IOM configuration is set during the IOM’s initialization. When you install an IOM into a slot that has not previously had an IOM installed, the default configuration will be applied to all ports on the IOM.
