Installing and replacing a module

This section contains procedures for installing and replacing a module.

You can add or replace a module with the power on or off.

Prerequisites

•The Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 modules are sensitive to static electricity. Static discharge from your clothing or other fixtures around you, even at levels that do not create a spark, can cause damage to the Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 modules.

CAUTION

Electrostatic discharge can damage hardware. Do the following to protect your equipment from damage.

To prevent static discharge when you work with Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 modules, place each module on a grounded antistatic mat until you are ready to install it. If you do not have an antistatic mat, wear a discharge leash or wrist strap to free yourself of static before you touch a module. (An antistatic wrist strap is shipped with the 8010co chassis.) You can also free yourself of static by touching the metal chassis before you handle the module.
