Installing an Optional Module into the Switch

Optional modules are available for media expansion, stacking and
management. These modules can be installed into the modular slots on the
rear panel of the switch. The Network Management Module must be
installed in the upper slot, and the Stack Module in the lower-left slot. The
media expansion modules can be installed in either of the two lower slots.
Caution: DO NOT install slide-in modules with the switch powered on.
To install an optional module into the switch, do the following:
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. A media module can be installed in either of the two
lower slots on the rear panel of the switch. A Network Management
Module can be installed in the upper slot on the rear of the switch.
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 (electrostatic discharge) 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.
