ﬁles, and conﬁguration ﬁles on one or more additional SRAM or Flash memory cards. You must install the memory card before you install a router in the chassis for the ﬁrst time. Only one memory card is required for any number of routers in a chassis with a PPX backplane.
Page 62: Installing Net Modules
Installing Net Modules Model 5380 and 5580 routers can operate without a net module installed. The net modules provide optional network connectivity to additional LANs and WANs. You can install any combination of available net modules onto the router modules.
Page 63: Figure 2-8. Aligning The Net Module With The Slot
Network module Figure 2-8. Align the net module plug connector with the connector on the router baseboard (see Figure 2-9). Caution: Make sure that the net module is parallel to the baseboard. If the connectors are not properly aligned, you will bend the pins, bend the socket on the baseboard, and possibly cause a short circuit.
Page 64: Installing The Router
Use the screws you removed from the ﬁller panel. Installing the Router To install and secure the router module in the chassis, follow these steps: Remove the ﬁller panel from the chassis slot where you intend to install the module (see Figure 2-10).
Page 65: Figure 2-11. Inserter/Extractor Levers In The Vertical Position
Caution: If you are hot-swapping router modules, make sure you are replacing the module with the same model as the router you removed. If not, the network may not resume operation. Extend the module inserter/extractor levers to the vertical position (see Figure 2-11).
Page 66: Figure 2-12. Seating The Module
Seat the module backplane connectors by simultaneously rotating the inserter/extractor levers inward toward the center of the module front panel to the horizontal position (see Figure 2-12). Figure 2-12. Use the ﬂat-tip screwdriver to tighten the captive retaining screws at both ends of the module front panel.
Page 67: Verifying The Installation
