Installing the Module into the MATRIX E7 Chassis

3.3INSTALLING THE MODULE INTO THE MATRIX E7 CHASSIS

CAUTION: Failure to observe static safety precautions could cause damage to the module. Follow static safety handling rules and wear the antistatic wrist strap provided with the 6C107 chassis.

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

The module can be installed in any of the slots that are available.

NOTE: First and second generation boards (6x1xx and 6x2xx series) installed in slots one through five in the MATRIX E7 chassis cannot communicate with slots six and seven unless a third generation board (6x3xx) is installed in one of the first five slots, providing backplane connectivity.

The 6H308-24 or 6H308-48 (third generation modules) can provide backplane connectivity for the 6x1xx and 6x2xx series (first and second generation modules) in the MATRIX E7 chassis from slots 1 through 5 to slots 6 and 7.

To install a module, refer to Figure 3-1and proceed as follows:

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 and cooling. (Save the blank plate in the event you need to remove the module.)

2.Carefully remove the module from the shipping box. (Save the box and packing materials in the event the module must be reshipped.)

3.Locate the antistatic wrist strap shipped with the module. 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 6C107.

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).

NOTE: Distributed Chassis Management and SecureFast Switching functionality of the 6C105 SmartSwitch 6000 chassis is not supported for any generation of interface modules installed in a MATRIX E7 chassis. Refer to the module release notes for specific information on supported functionality.
