Installing Port Option Cards
Before you install a port option card or module in slot A or slot
B on the rear of the E4G-400 router, have the following items on hand:
- ESD-preventive wrist strap
- 1/2-inch flat-blade screwdriver
Slot A accommodates the following cards:
- XGM3S-2sf option card
- XGM3S-2xf option card
Slot B accommodates the following cards:
- XGM3SB-4sf option card
- E4G-B16T1E1 module
You can install or remove a port option card in the E4G-400 router
without powering down the router; however, you must reboot the router to initialize
a newly installed option card.
-
Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your bare
wrist and connect the metal end to an appropriate ground point on
the rack.
-
Remove the blank cover over the slot where the
option card will be installed, as shown in the figures below.

-
Carefully slide the option card all the way into the
slot.
Note
When you install an E4G-B16T1E1 module,
the final seating of the card requires firm pressure. Otherwise the
retaining screws do not engage, and the internal connector will not mate
properly.
-
Align and securely tighten the captive retaining
screws as shown in the following figures.
-
Reboot the router to initialize the newly installed option
card.
If you installed an E4G-B16T1E1 module, follow the instructions in Connecting a Cable for the E4G-B16T1E1 Module.
Save the slot cover to re-use in case you remove the port option
card later. An unoccupied module slot must be covered to ensure satisfactory EMI
levels and to maintain adequate airflow through the router.
