Installing the DFE Module into a Chassis

Example 3 (Figure 3-1, C)

Shows the primary management module missing from slot 1. As long as the module installed in slot 2 is designated as a redundant management module, the module in slot 1 can be removed without affecting system operation. However, if there is no module in slot 1, and the system is powered down, it cannot be restarted without a module in slot 1.

Caution: When installing a module into slot 1 of a non-operating chassis, it is strongly recommended that the module have the desired version of firmware. Installation of a replacement module into slot 1 of a non-operating chassis requires reconfiguration of the system settings.

Precaución: Para instalar un módulo en la ranura 1 del chasis apagado, lo mejor es que el módulo corresponda a la versión de firmware solicitada. Para instalar un módulo de reemplazo en la ranura 1 del chasis apagado será necesario reconfigurar el sistema.

Rule: You cannot power up the system completely without a module in slot 1.

Example 4 (Figure 3-1, D)

Shows a chassis populated with 4xxxxx and 7xxxxx modules. DO NOT install 4xxxxx and 7xxxxx modules in the same chassis. In a 4xxxxx system, the chassis must be dedicated to DFE modules only. The chassis will be rendered inoperable if any other type of module (DFE‐Platinum or legacy modules, for example) are installed in the same chassis with DFE‐Gold modules.

Rule: In a 4xxxxx system, the chassis must be populated with only 4xxxxx boards to operate.

Installing the DFE Module into a Chassis

Caution: Failure to observe static safety precautions could cause damage to the DFE module. Follow static safety handling rules and wear the antistatic wrist strap.

Do not cut the non-conductive bag to remove the module. Sharp objects contacting the board or components can cause damage.

Precaución: Si no toma las medidas de seguridad necesarias para evitar descargas de electricidad estática, es posible que el módulo se dañe. Siga los consejos de seguridad para la manipulación del producto y no olvide utilizar la pulsera antiestática.

No corte la bolsa antiestática para sacar el módulo. Tenga en cuenta que si algún objeto cortante entra en contacto con la placa o con los componentes, éstos podrían dañarse.
