Installing an I/O Module

1 Unpack the I/O module and prepare it for installation.
For instructions, see the documentation that accompanied the module.
2 Install the I/O module.
NOTE:
Bays IO/1 and IO/2 accept only PowerConnect 5316M Ethernet switch modules or Gb Ethernet pass-
through modules. If only one module is used, it must be installed in bay IO/1. Bay IO/2 is for a second
PowerConnect 5316M Ethernet switch module or Gb Ethernet pass-through module for redundancy.
Ensure that the I/O module release lever is fully extended. See Figure 3-10.
a
Slide the module into the chassis until it is fully seated.
b
Close the release lever until it snaps securely into place.

3 If a daughter card(s) was included with the new I/O module, install the daughter card(s). See
Module Daughter Card" on page 82
NOTE:
The daughter card enables a server module to communicate with the corresponding connector
number on its appropriate I/O module. For example, server module number 5 must have a Fibre-Channel
daughter card installed to communicate with the Fibre Channel pass-through module connector number 5
(primary and secondary bays).
