Installing 10 Gigabit Expansion Modules

ESD Caution. Before handling the expansion module, you must discharge all static electricity on your
person to avoid Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) damage. If using a wrist strap, ensure that the wrist strap
touches your skin. Attach the other end of the strap to the chassis.

If there is a blank cover panel installed over the expansion module slot position, uninstall it by remov-
ing the two Phillips attachment screws. After the attachment screws have been removed, carefully pry the
blank cover panel out and away from the chassis. Set the cover panel and attachment screws aside.
2 Holding the expansion module by the front panel, carefully slide the circuit board into the card guide
located in the chassis slot.
Circuit Board
Note. The module should slide in easily. Do not force the module into the slot. If any resistance is encoun-
tered, ensure that the module is aligned properly in the card guide and try again.
3 Slide the module back until the backplane connector is inserted in the chassis backplane; the module's
front panel should be flush with the front of the chassis. Do not force the module into the slot. Forcing the
module can damage the connectors.
4
Once the module is firmly seated and flush with the chassis front panel, secure the module by tighten-
ing the two captive screws. Be sure not to overtighten the captive screws. If using a screwdriver, the
torque used to tighten the screws must not exceed 2.3 foot-pounds.
