Installing the Module in an Unused Slot
Static electricity can severely damage the sensitive electronic components on
the FDDI Module. When handling and installing the module in your switch,
follow these procedures to avoid damage from static electricity:
Handle the module by its edges and avoid touching the components and
the circuitry on the board.
Equalize any static charge difference between your body and the switch
by wearing a grounding wrist strap and attaching it to the switch's metal
body, or by frequently touching the switch's metal body while you are
installing the module.
For proper cooling and reduction of electromagnetic emissions, ensure that
slot covers (provided with your Switch 2000) are installed on unused ports.
1.
Slide out the blank LED label strip from the label slot corresponding to
the physical slot in which you will install the module. The LED label strips
have a small loop on the left end. Use your fingernail or a small implement
to catch the loop and slide the label to the left and out of the label slot.
Then insert the LED label strip you received with the FDDI Module. For
example, if you are going to install the module in slot ''A'', you would
replace the blank LED label strip in label slot ''A'' with the new LED label
strip for the FDDI Module. (Refer to Figure 1, below.)
Save the blank LED label strip in case you ever want to remove the module
and its LED label strip.
2.
Using a Torx T-10 or flat-blade screwdriver, unscrew the screws in the
cover plate over the slot you want to use, and remove the cover. Store the
cover plate with its screws for possible future use. For example, to install
a module in slot A, see figure 1 on the next page.
