Installation
Installing the SmartSwitch 9000 Module
The SmartSwitch 9000 module may be installed into any two available slots. To
install, follow the steps below:
1. Remove the blank panels covering the slots that the module is being mounted
in. All other slots must be covered if modules are not being installed, to ensure
proper airßow and cooling.
2. Carefully remove the module from the shipping box. (Save the box and
packing materials in the event the module must be reshipped.)
3. Attach one end of the ESD wrist strap packaged with the SmartSwitch 9000
chassis to your wrist. Plug the other end into the ESD Wrist Strap Grounding
receptacle in the lower right corner of the SmartSwitch 9000 Chassis shown in
Figure 2-1.
4. Remove the module from the plastic bag. Observe all precautions to prevent
damage from Electrostatic Discharge (ESD).
5. Carefully examine the module, checking for shipping damage. If any damage
exists, DO NOT install the module. Contact Cabletron Systems Technical
Support immediately.
6. The module is installed into the chassis by sliding it into a pair of slots and
locking down both pairs of top and bottom plastic tabs, as shown in
Figure 2-1. Take care that the module slides in straight and engages the
backplane connectors properly. Ensure that both circuit cards are between the
card guides. Check both the upper and lower tracks of both cards.
The INB Terminator Modules must be installed on the rear of the fourteen slot
chassis before powering up this module. The INB Terminator Modules are not
required on the six slot chassis. Refer to the INB Terminator Modules
Installation Guide for information and installation procedure.
