Enterasys SmartSwitch 6G302-06 Installation Manual page 39

The 6G306-06 is typically installed as a high-speed uplink module. As such, it should not be used
as the proxy bridge from slots 1-5 to slots 6-7 for the generation 1 and 2 modules (6x1xx and
6x2xx models). Also, for the Matrix E7 to operate optimally, the Matrix E7 should not be filled
with all 6G306-06 modules. See the Matrix E7 Overview and Setup Guide for more information.
To install a module, refer to
NOTE: Although the 6G306-06 is shown in
the 6G302-06 and 6G306-06 modules.
1. Remove the blank panel covering the slot in which the module will be installed. All other slots
must remain covered to ensure proper airflow and cooling. (Save the blank plate in the event you
need to remove the module.)
2. Carefully remove the module from the shipping box. (Save the box and packing materials in the
event the module must be reshipped.)
3. Locate the antistatic wrist strap shipped with the module. Attach the antistatic wrist strap to your
wrist and plug the cable from the antistatic wrist strap into the ESD grounding receptacle at the
upper right corner of the 6C105.
4. Remove the module from the plastic bag. (Save the bag in the event the module must be
reshipped.) Observe all precautions to prevent damage from Electrostatic Discharge (ESD).
5. Examine the module for damage. If any damage exists, DO NOT install the module.
Immediately contact Enterasys Networks. Refer to
CAUTION: To prevent damaging the backplane connectors in the following step, take
care that the module slides in straight and properly engages the backplane connectors.
Ensure that the top plastic locking tab lines up with the desired slot number located on
the front panel of the chassis. Refer to
6. Locate the slot guides that line up with the number of the slot in which the module will be
installed. Install the module in the chassis by aligning the module circuit card between the upper
and lower metal rail guides of the desired slot, sliding it into the chassis, and locking down the
top and bottom plastic locking tabs, as shown in
straight and properly engages the backplane connectors.
7. If the chassis in which the module is installed was powered down for the installation, turn it back
on. Check to see that the CPU LED settles at solid green after a few minutes. If the LED does
not turn solid green, see
Figure 3-6 and proceed as follows:
