CHAPTER 6
ADDING/SWAPPING MODULES
Once you have received your ATX, you may want to add a new module to expand your network bandwidth, replace a module with a module of a different type, or swap a module with another module of the same type. If you are:
•Adding a module to a previously vacant slot or to a slot that had a different type of module, refer to the section Adding a Token Ring Switch Module below, for instructions.
•Replacing a Token Ring module, refer to Section 6.3, Swapping a Module, for instructions.
Before adding or swapping modules, refer to the latest version of the ATX Release Notes (provided with your ATX software) for information about software and hardware version numbers and compatibility.
6.1 UNPACKING THE TOKEN RING SWITCH MODULE
Unpack the module carefully, handling it by the edges only, and inspect it for possible damage. If any damage is evident, contact Cabletron Systems Technical Support immediately. Save the original container and antistatic wrap in case the module needs to be repaired.
6.2 ADDING A TOKEN RING SWITCH MODULE
If the module you are adding is of a different type than the module that previously occupied that slot, or if the slot was previously vacant, you have to reboot the ATX so it will recognize the new module.
