Installing a Universal Expansion Module

Follow these steps to install a Universal Expansion Module (UEM), if you have received one.

1.If you have not already done so, unplug or remove power from the switch.

2.Remove the UEM from its box.

3.Remove the plate covering the Universal Expansion Slot (UES) on the front of the switch by loosening the two thumbscrews holding it in place. See Figure 14. Use a screwdriver if the screws are too tight to be removed with your fingers.

Retain the plate and thumbscrews for use in the event that the UEM is ever removed.

4.Insert the card in the UES carefully, fitting each side into the card rails, and making sure that the connector on the card is seated in the connector at the back of the slot.

5.Secure the card with the two thumbscrews attached to it. This is illustrated in the publication that was shipped with the UEM.

6.It may be necessary to download new microcode to the switch in order to use a specific UEM. Refer to the instructions that came with your UEM package.
