Preparing to Install Module into Matrix E7 or N7 Chassis

To install a DFE module into a Matrix E7 or Matrix N7 chassis, proceed as follows to prepare the module for installation.

1.Remove the blank panel covering the slot in which the module will be installed. All other slots must remain covered to ensure proper airflow for cooling. (Save the blank plate in the event you need to remove the module.)

2.Remove the module from the shipping box. (Save the box and packing materials in the event the module needs to be reshipped.)

3.Locate the antistatic wrist strap shipped with the chassis. Attach the antistatic wrist strap to your wrist and plug the cable from the antistatic wrist strap into the ESD grounding receptacle at the upper right corner of the chassis.

4.Remove the module from the plastic bag. (Save the bag in the event the module must be reshipped.) Observe all precautions to prevent damage from Electrostatic Discharge (ESD).

5.Examine the module for damage. If any damage exists, DO NOT install the module. Immediately contact Enterasys Networks. Refer to “Getting Help” on page xviii.

6.To install a 4G4285‐49 or 4G4205‐72 into a Matrix E7 or Matrix N7, proceed to “Installing the DFE Modules into a Matrix E7 or N7 Chassis” on page 3‐8. For Matrix N3 or Matrix N5, refer to “Installing the DFE Modules into Matrix N3 or Matrix N5 Chassis” on page 3‐11.

Installing the DFE Modules into a Matrix E7 or N7 Chassis

Before installing a module into a Matrix E7 or N7 chassis, make sure that you refer to instruction in “Preparation” on page 3‐6.

To install the module, refer to Figure 3‐2 and proceed as follows:

Caution: To prevent damaging the backplane connectors in the following step, take care that the module slides in straight and properly engages the backplane connectors.

Ensure that the top lever lines up with the desired slot number located on the front panel of the chassis. Refer to Figure 3-2.

Precaución: Para evitar que se dañen los conectores del panel posterior en el siguiente paso, intente deslizar el módulo en forma recta y verifique que se enganche correctamente en los conectores de panel posterior.

Asegúrese de que la palanca superior esté alineada con respecto al número de ranura correspondiente ubicado en el panel frontal del chasis. Consulte en Figure 3-2.

1.Prepare the chassis as described in “Installing the DFE Module into a Chassis” on page 3‐5.

2.Locate the chassis card guides that line up with the slot number in which the module will be installed. Make sure the module locking levers are in the open position (top and bottom).
