Installing the 9E428 and 9E429 Modules
The 9E428-12 and the 9E429-12 modules occupy a single slot in the SmartSwitch
9000 chassis. The 9E428-36 and the 9E429-36 occupy two slots in the chassis.
Install the modules by following the steps starting below.

Unpacking the Module

1. Carefully remove the module from the shipping box. (Save the box and
packing materials in the event the module must be reshipped.)
2. Remove the module from the plastic bag. Observe all precautions to prevent
damage from Electrostatic Discharge (ESD).
3. Carefully examine the module, checking for damage. If any damage exists,
DO NOT install the module. Contact Cabletron Systems Technical Support
immediately.
The INB Terminator Modules must be installed on the rear of the chassis before powering
