Removing SODIMMs from the SMMi Module

To remove a SODIMM:
1 Attach an ESD strap 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.
2 Disengage the SODIMM by pulling out on the ejector locks located on either side of the SODIMM.

Removing SMMi Modules

All Alpine 3800 series modules (SMMi and I/O modules) are hot-swappable. You do not need to power
off the system to remove a module.
You need the following tools and equipment to remove an SMMi module:
• ESD-preventive wrist strap
• # 1 Phillips screwdriver
• Replacement SMMi module
To remove an SMMi module:
1 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.
2 Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the two captive screws.
3 Simultaneously rotate the ejector/injector levers away from the center of the module to disengage
the module from the backplane.
a Grasp the module front panel with one hand, and place your other hand under the metal panel to
support the module.
CAUTION
To prevent ESD damage, handle the module by the metal panel edges only. Never touch the
components on the PCB or pins on any of the connectors.
b Slide the module out of the chassis and place it immediately into an antistatic sack to protect it
from ESD damage and to prevent dust from collecting on the module's connectors.
4 To install a replacement SMMi, follow the SMMi module installation procedure on page 157.
5 Leave the ESD strap permanently connected to the chassis so that it is always available when you
need to handle ESD-sensitive components.
