Caution: DO NOT install slide-in modules with the switch powered on.
To install an optional module into the switch, do the following:
Note: Note: The stacking module must only be installed in slot M1.
1. Disconnect power to the switch.
2. Remove the blank metal plate (or a previously installed module) from
the appropriate slot by removing the two screws with a flat-head
screwdriver.
3. Before opening the package that contains the module, touch the bag to
the switch casing to discharge any potential static electricity. Also, it is
recommended to use an ESD wrist strap during installation.
4. Remove the module from the anti-static shielded bag.
5. Holding the module level, guide it into the carrier rails on each side
and gently push it all the way into the slot, ensuring that it firmly
engages with the connector.
