Installing and Removing IOMs

This section describes the installation of IOMs, and Fabric and Control Modules. Although you can populate any empty slot with its appropriate module, all chassis are delivered without coverplates on the IOM, and Fabric and Control Module slots labeled as 1. Slots accept modules that are sized appropriately for those slots only. That is, only IOMs can fit into IOM slots, Fabric Modules into FM slots, and Control Modules into CM slots.

To install an IOM module, refer to the figures as indicated in the steps below and proceed as follows:

1.Locate the ESD wrist strap shipped with the Matrix X4‐C chassis. Attach the ESD wrist strap to your wrist and plug the cable from the ESD wrist strap into the ESD grounding receptacle at the bottom of the chassis as shown in Figure 3‐9.

2.Unpack the module by taking it from its shipping box and removing any packaging materials, and removing the module from its protective plastic bag. (Save the shipping box and materials in the event the unit must be reshipped.)

3.Examine the module carefully, checking for damage. If any damage is found, do not install it. Contact Enterasys Networks for instructions.

4.Locate Slot 1 at the bottom of the chassis and insert the IOM in the guide rail of the slot, as shown in Figure 3‐18. Gently slide the module into the rack until the IOM engages the connector on the backplane, being careful that the ejector handles are in the open position, as shown in Figure 3‐19.

Note: As you insert the IOM into the slot, be sure the ejector handles are in the open position, as shown in Figure 3-19, to avoid damaging the IOM.

5.Push the ejector handles toward the center of the module, as shown in Figure 3‐19, engaging the lip of the slot, until the module locks into place and is flush with adjoining coverplates.

6.Tighten the two captive screws.
