Installing the MMAC-Plus Module

The MMAC-Plus module may be installed into any of the 14 slots that are available. To install, follow the steps below:

1.Remove the blank panel, covering the slot that the module is being mounted in. All other slots must be covered, if modules are not being installed, to ensure proper airflow 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 MMAC-Plus chassis to your wrist. Plug the other end into the ESD Wrist Strap Grounding receptacle in the lower right corner of the MMAC-Plus Chassis shown in Figure 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 damage. If any damage exists, DO NOT install the module. Contact Cabletron Systems Technical Support immediately.

6.Before installing the MMAC-Plus cards into the chassis, ensure that the bottom and top plastic tabs are unlocked. Slide the card into an available slot and ensure that the circuit card is between the card guides, as shown in Figure 1. Check both the upper and lower tracks. Take care that the module slides in straight and engages the backplane connectors properly. Lock down the top and bottom plastic tabs at the same time, applying even pressure.
