Installing Optional Fast Ethernet Interface Modules

To install a Fast Ethernet Interface Module in port slot 7 or 8 of the

6H122-08, proceed as follows:

!

CAUTION

The Fast Ethernet Interface Module and the 6H122-08 are sensitive to static discharges. Use an antistatic wrist strap and observe all static precautions during this procedure. Failure to do so could damage the module or the 6H122-08.

The FE-100F3 uses Class 1 lasers. Do not use optical

!instruments to view the laser output. The use of optical

CAUTION

instruments to view laser output increases eye hazard. When

 

 

viewing the output optical port, power must be removed from

 

the network adapter.

1.Remove the coverplate from the port slot where the Fast Ethernet Interface Module will be installed.

When installing Fast Ethernet Interface Modules in both port

TIP slots 7 and 8, remove the coverplates from both slot openings. In the following instructions, the optional module is shown being installed in port slot 8.

To remove a coverplate, refer to Figure C-3and proceed as follows:

a.Remove the two screws fastening the coverplate to the standoffs. Save the screws.
