2.2.2 Removing an I/O Module Blank From the Chassis

3. Pull the I/O Module Blank out of the chassis using the locking arm.

2.2.3 Installing the Mellanox M4001[F, Q] Switch Into the Dell Chassis

Refer to the Dell PowerEdge M1000e Hardware Owners Manual for more information.
1. Follow the instructions in Section 2.2.1 or Section 2.2.2 to remove an old switch or an I/O
Module Blank.
2. On the new switch, push the red latch release button.
3. Pull the lever forward until the lever is perpendicular to the front panel.
4. Push the switch into the slot until the latching mechanism is against the bar.
5. Push the lever on the latching mechanism up, making sure that the latching mechanism
catches the locking bar. The lever should now be parallel to the front panel.
6. Check the indicator lights to make sure the switch has power.
2.3 Power Connections and Initial Power On
The I/O module will automatically power up when AC power is applied. There is no power switch.
Immediately upon closing the latching mechanism check to make sure that the green switch LED
is lit.
2.4 InfiniBand Cable Installation
All cables can be inserted or removed with the unit powered on. To insert a cable, press the con-
nector into the port receptacle until the connector is firmly seated. The green LED indicator
accompanying each port will light when the physical connection is established (that is, when the
unit is powered on and a cable is plugged into the port with the other end of the connector plugged
into a functioning port). After plugging in a cable, lock the connector using the latching mecha-
nism particular to the cable vendor. The yellow LED will light if the subnet manager is running
(non blinking indicating that no data is being transferred yet). When a logical connection is made
the yellow LED will blink signifying data is being transferred.
Make sure the rack is stable on a solid floor and that the rack is filled from the bottom
up. This will keep the center of gravity as low as possible reducing risk of tipping.
The rack mounting is designed to fit the PowerEdge Chassis. Take precautions to guar-
antee proper ventilation for air intake at the front of the chassis and exhaust at the rear
in order to maintain good airflow at ambient temperature. Cable routing in particular
should not impede the air exhaust from the chassis.
