Removing Modules - HP 9304m Installation And Getting Started Manual

CAUTION: If one or more of the slots remains unused, make sure that a slot cover plate is still attached over
each unused slot for safe operation and proper system cooling.
Use the CESD grounding tap (provided by HP) before connecting Category 5 or better UTP copper
networking cables.
NOTE: If installing a module into a slot previously occupied by a different type of module , you must use the
CLI to configure the new module (with the CLI command, module <slot-num> <module-type>) and then use
the write memory command to save the configuration and the reload command to reset the Routing Switch.
See "Swapping Modules" on page 2-31. If the slot has never contained a module or you are swapping in
exactly the same type of module, you do not need to enter these commands.

Removing Modules

To remove a module from the chassis, do the following:
1. Put on an ESD wrist strap and attach the clip end to a metal surface (e.g. an equipment rack) to act as
ground.
WARNING:To avoid risk of shock, do not attach the clip end to the air flow panel of the power supply.
2. Loosen the two screws on the module.
3. Pull the card ejectors towards you, and away from the module front panel. The card will unseat from the
backplane.
4. Pull the module out of the chassis and place in an anti-static bag for storage.
5. Cover the slot with the blank face plate that shipped with the chassis.
CAUTION: If you remove a module and do not replace it, cover the slot opening with one of the blank plates
you received with the Routing Switch to provide additional safety and airflow for the system.
NOTE: Modules can be installed and removed when the unit is powered on (hot swap). There is no need to
power the system down. You do not need to change the slot's configuration unless you plan to insert a
different type of module. See "Swapping Modules" on page 2-31.
