Installing Modules

Up to eight IntraChassis modules can be installed in the IntraChassis 9000 chassis, in addition to the Management Engine module, which is pre-installed in the factory.

Before installing any modules, make sure the cable guides have been installed, as explained in the previous section of this chapter.

To install any combination of 2-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch (GBIC) modules and 24-port 10/100 Switch modules, use the following procedure.

▲Important: Make sure the IntraChassis 9000 chassis is properly installed in an equipment rack or resting on a flat, stable surface capable of supporting 150 pounds (68.2kg). Also make sure the power cord for the power module is dis- connected for initial installation.

1 Pull the small ejector lever on each end of the module’s face plate out, away from the face plate.

2 Align the bottom of the module with the rails on the inside of the chassis slot where you want to install the module, as shown in Figure 2-2.

3 Slide the module into the slot until it stops, then push the module in gently until it seats with the connector.
