Installing an I/O Module

1Unpack the I/O module and prepare it for installation.

For instructions, see the documentation that accompanied the module.

2Install the I/O module.

NOTE: Bays IO/1 and IO/2 accept only PowerConnect 5316M Ethernet switch modules or Gb Ethernet pass- through modules. If only one module is used, it must be installed in bay IO/1. Bay IO/2 is for a second PowerConnect 5316M Ethernet switch module or Gb Ethernet pass-through module for redundancy.

aEnsure that the I/O module release lever is fully extended. See Figure 3-10.

bSlide the module into the chassis until it is fully seated.

cClose the release lever until it snaps securely into place.

3If a daughter card(s) was included with the new I/O module, install the daughter card(s). See "I/O Module Daughter Card" on page 82.

NOTE: The daughter card enables a server module to communicate with the corresponding connector number on its appropriate I/O module. For example, server module number 5 must have a Fibre-Channel daughter card installed to communicate with the Fibre Channel pass-through module connector number 5 (primary and secondary bays).
