Installing Your Management Module

A management module provides the functional control for the 4000E BLC; the 4000E cannot function without one. There are several different models available. Contact your sales representative.

Installing a Management Module

An uplink module provides the upstream network connection for the 4000E BLC; a management module cannot function without one. Depending on the management module model that you plan to install in your 4000E, you will need either a Media Interface Module (MIM) or an Uplink Interface Module (UIM). Only one uplink module is required for operational purposes. However, two uplink modules may be installed, one in each port of the management module, if redundancy is desired. Refer to your management module or uplink module installation instructions for further information.

CAUTION

If a slot cover is removed from a management module uplink port, it must be replaced with an uplink module. DO NOT OPERATE A 4000E WITH A MANAGEMENT MODULE THAT HAS AN OPEN UPLINK PORT.

1Identify the appropriate slot for installation.

The 4000E is a five slot chassis: slots 1–4 are reserved for interface modules and Slot U1 is reserved for a management module. The 4000E is shipped from the factory with slots 1 and U1 open and ready for module installation.
