Installing Smmi Modules - Extreme Networks Alpine 3804 Hardware Manual

Installing SMMi Modules

You can insert the SMMi module at any time, without causing disruption of network services.
You need the following tools and equipment to install the SMMi module:
• ESD-preventive wrist strap
• # 1 Phillips screwdriver
• SMMi module
To install the SMMi:
1 Locate the top, unnumbered slot of the chassis. This is where you install the SMMi.
CAUTION
You can install the SMMi only in the designated, top (orange) slot of the Alpine 3808 or 3804
chassis. The SMMi does not fit in any other chassis slots. Forceful insertion can damage the
module.
2 Attach the ESD strap that is provided to your wrist and connect the metal end to the ground
receptacle that is located on the top-right corner of the switch front panel.
3 Remove the blank faceplate from the slot to make room for the module, if applicable.
NOTE
Any unoccupied module slot in the chassis should have a blank faceplate installed to ensure
satisfactory protection from EMI and to guarantee adequate airflow through the chassis.
4 Grasp the module by its front panel with one hand, and place your other hand under the edge of the
metal panel. Check the connectors for dust and packing materials.
CAUTION
To prevent ESD damage, handle the module by the metal panel edges only. Never touch the
components on the printed circuit board (PCB) or pins on any of the connectors.
5 Ensure that the SMMi is horizontal with the module name to the right, the PCB on top, and that the
ejector/injector levers are extended, as shown in Figure 72.

a Slide the module into the top slot of the chassis, until it makes contact with the backplane.
NOTE
Use the metal panel, not the PCB, to guide the SMMi.
As the module begins to seat in the chassis, the ejector/injector levers begin to close.
