5.Examine the module for damage. If any damage exists, DO NOT install the module. Immediately contact Enterasys Networks. Refer to “Getting Help” in About This Guide.

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 plastic locking tab lines up with the desired slot number located on the front panel of the chassis. Refer to Figure 3-1.

6.Locate the slot guides that line up with the number of the slot in which the module will be installed. Install the module in the chassis by aligning the module circuit card between the upper and lower metal rail guides of the desired slot, sliding it into the chassis, and locking down the top and bottom plastic locking tabs, as shown in Figure 3-1. Take care that the module slides in straight and properly engages the backplane connectors.

7.If the chassis in which the module is installed was powered down for the installation, turn it back on. Check to see that the CPU LED settles at solid green after a few minutes. If the LED does not turn solid green, see Chapter 4 for details.
