Up to eight interface modules can be installed in the Extreme 9920 chassis. An interface
module is hot-swappable.
Ensure that you have an ESD-preventive wrist strap.
Visually inspect the connectors for damage before you insert the module.
Important
If you insert a module with damaged connectors you will damage the
switch.
To prevent damage, use the following best practices when installing or handling
modules:
Keep the modules on
antistatic material when not in the chassis.
Avoid touching the
components or connector pins.
Do not stack modules on top
of each other outside of the chassis.
Always keep a module or a
filler panel installed to maintain safety compliance, proper cooling, and
EMI containment.
Do not overtighten screws or use a power tool to tighten screws.
Note
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic circuits. Do
not touch electronic hardware unless you wear a grounding wrist strap or other
static-dissipating device.
Open the package and verify the
package contents.
The package contains one interface module and this document.
Remove the interface module
from the box and then remove it from the anti-static bag.
Handle the interface module by the edges and avoid touching the components or
connector pins.
Identify the I/O slot in the
chassis to install the interface module and remove the filler panel.
Slide the red handle release of the I/O slot to
the right, as you are facing the chassis, to unlock the slot
handle.
Pull the slot ejector lever slightly down to fully
unlock the filler panel and remove it from the I/O slot in the
chassis.
Removing a blank
interface module panel
Unlock the handle by sliding the
red handle release away from the handle of the interface module that you are
inserting.
Insert the interface module into
the slot with the handle facing towards you and to the left side of the
slot.
Inserting an interface
module into the chassis
Continue to apply light pressure
on the interface module until it connects with the backplane and is fully
seated.
Press the red-tabbed handle
gently up and forward until it is locked in place by the handle release.
