Installing Optional Network Expansion Module

Installing Optional Network Expansion Module

A Phillips screwdriver is required to install an optional network expansion module into the 4H4282‐49, 4H4283‐49, or 4H4284‐49.

Note: Install any optional equipment before proceeding to the section, “DFE Module Placement and Installation Rules,” on page 3-3 for an explanation of the rules to install different series modules in a Matrix E7 chassis.

Refer to your release notes or the Enterasys Networks web site for the latest available network expansion modules.

Installing a NEM involves

•removing the coverplate from the DFE‐Gold module (4H4282‐49, 4H4283‐49, or 4H4284‐49),

•installing the NEM, and

•replacing the coverplate.

DFE Module Placement and Installation Rules

Note: It is important to follow the Module Placement and Rules to ensure proper operation.

The DFE‐Gold module can be installed in a Matrix E7 (refer to Figure 3‐1 on page 3‐4) for placement rules), Matrix N1, Matrix N3, Matrix N5, or Matrix N7 chassis.

The Matrix N1, Matrix N3, Matrix N5, or Matrix N7 chassis support only DFE modules and there are no particular rules for installing modules.

Caution: Regardless of which chassis is used, the chassis system must be dedicated to DFE-Gold modules (4xxxxx) only. Do not insert 7xxxxx modules or other legacy modules into the same chassis with 4xxxxx modules as this will render the chassis inoperable.

Precaución: Cualquiera que sea el chasis que utilice, recuerde que el sistema debe aplicarse exclusivamente a los módulos DFE (Distributed Forwarding Engine) de la serie Gold (4xxxxx). No inserte módulos 7xxxxx ni otros módulos legado dentro de un chasis con módulos 4xxxxx. Si lo hace, el chasis no funcionará.
