Installing a Line or I/O Module

To install a module:

1Connect the antistatic wrist strap to the ESD grounding jack on your ERX system.

Caution: When handling modules, use an antistatic wrist strap connected to the ERX system’s ESD grounding jack. This action helps to protect the module from damage by electrostatic discharge.

2Choose the slot where you want to insert the module.

For the ERX-1400 series, you can install line modules in slots 0 through 5 and slots 8 through 13; for the ERX-700 series you can choose slots 2 through 6.

3With a Phillips screwdriver, loosen the top and bottom screws that secure the blank faceplate covering the empty chassis slot, as shown in Figure 3-5.

4Remove the faceplate.

Caution: Always handle the module by its edges. Do not touch the components, pins, leads, or solder connections.

5Remove the module from its antistatic bag.

6Make sure that the ejectors are in position 1, as shown in Figure 3-7.

7Position the module as follows:

•For the ERX-1400 series, position the module vertically so that the labeling is upright.

•For the ERX-700 series, position the module horizontally so that the labeling is to the right.

8Guide the module into the chassis by placing it between the guides of the selected slot, and slide the module until it stops.

The module stops sliding when the ejectors make contact with the front of the chassis. Figure 3-9shows how to install an I/O module and a line module in the ERX-1400 series.
