2. If necessary, remove the faceplate for the 2-port 10-GbE module located in the lower left-hand corner of the
front panel. Use a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver or flathead screwdriver to loosen the two captive screws that
secure it in place. Place the blank faceplate in a safe place for future use.
3. Remove the new 10-Gigabit Ethernet module and faceplate from its protective packaging.
4. Install the 10-Gigabit module in the chassis as shown in Figure 7.4:
• Properly place and align the 10-Gigabit Ethernet module inside the chassis.
• When the module is fully inserted, push it firmly toward the back of the chassis until the front panel is
flush with the rest of the chassis. This action causes the module’s connector to lock into the backplane
connector.
• Use a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver or flathead screwdriver to fasten the two captive screws on the 10-
Gigabit module. Affix the screws loosely at first, then tighten them once you are sure the module is
properly positioned.

5. After installing the module, power on the system and verify that the 10-GbE module is working properly. Refer
to the section “Observing LEDs” on page 4-7.
Installing or Replacing a POE Daughter Card
This section provides instructions for installing or replacing a Power Over Ethernet (POE) daughter card in the
FastIron GS chassis.
• The FGS624P and FGS624P-POE have one connector slot on the main board for a single POE daughter
card, which provides support for POE power-consuming devices on all 24 10/100/1000 ports.
• The FGS648P and FGS648P-POE have two connector slots on the main board for two POE daughter cards.
A single POE daughter card provides support for POE power-consuming devices on 24 10/100/1000 ports.
A POE daughter card in the left-most connector slot provides POE for ports 1 – 24, and the right-most
connector slot provides POE for ports 25 – 48. This assumes you are facing the front of the device, not the
rear.
