Enterasys Networks VH-4802 manual Installing an Optional Module into the Switch

Installing an Optional Module into the Switch

Optional modules are available for media expansion. These modules can be installed into either of the two modular slots on the rear panel of the switch.

DO NOT install slide-in modules with the switch powered on. Be sure you power off the switch before installing any module.

To install an optional module into the switch, do the following:

1.Disconnect power to the switch.

2.Remove the blank metal plate (or a previously installed module) from the appropriate slot by removing the two screws with a flat-head screwdriver.

3.Before opening the package that contains the module, touch the bag to the switch casing to discharge any potential static electricity. Also, use the ESD wrist strap included with the package.

4.Remove the module from the anti-static shielded bag.

5.Holding the module level, guide it into the carrier rails on each side and gently push it all the way into the slot, ensuring that it firmly engages with the connector.
