Hardware Installation

➽Warning: Expansion modules are not hot-swappable. If you install or remove expansion modules while the power to the switch is on, damage may occur to the switch and to the module.

➽Warning: Be sure to install a version of the base switch software that supports the SSIM-H2-02 (version 3.10 or later) before physically inserting the module. Otherwise, the switch will not recognize it and this may in some cases corrupt the configuration.

Use the following steps to install the module in a SmartStack STS16-20RM Token Ring Switch:

1.Power off the base switch by unplugging the power cord from the power outlet. If the switch uses the optional SmartStack STS-PSU Redundant Power Unit, unplug the connector from the base switch as well.

2.Select an empty expansion module slot in which to install the module. You can install the module in either or both of the slots.

3.Remove the cover from the expansion slot on the front of the switch by loosening the two retaining thumb screws (see Figure 2). Keep the plate for use in the cases when the expansion module is removed.
