Installing Module Into Matrix E7 Or Matrix N7 Chassis; Preparation - Enterasys Diamond Distributed Forwarding Engine 7KR4297-02 Hardware Installation Manual

Installing Module into Matrix E7 or Matrix N7 Chassis

Example 6
The module arrangement in this example is similar to the one shown in Figure
described in Example 5. The only difference is that a DFE‐Diamond bridging module is installed
in slot 2, enabling all modules to communicate with each other.
Rule: In this example, the 7H4382‐49 DFE‐Diamond bridging module serves as both the FTM1‐to‐
FTM2 bridge and the five‐to‐seven slot proxy bridge. The 6x3xx does not serve as a proxy bridge
in this configuration because the 7H4382‐49 is in a slot with a lower number.

To install a DFE‐Diamond module into a Matrix N7 chassis, proceed directly to "Preparation"
(page 3‐6) to start the installation process.

Preparation

1. Remove the blank panel covering the slot in which the module will be installed. All other slots
must remain covered to ensure proper airflow for cooling. (Save the blank plate in the event
you need to remove the module.)
2. Remove the module from the shipping box. (Save the box and packing materials in the event
the module needs to be reshipped.)
3. Locate the antistatic wrist strap shipped with the chassis. Attach the antistatic wrist strap to
your wrist and plug the cable from the antistatic wrist strap into the ESD grounding receptacle
at the upper right corner of the chassis.
4. Remove the module from the plastic bag. (Save the bag in the event the module must be
reshipped.) Observe all precautions to prevent damage from Electrostatic Discharge (ESD).
5. Examine the module for damage. If any damage exists, DO NOT install the module.
Immediately contact Enterasys Networks. Refer to "Getting Help" on page xiv.

(Figure 3-1, F)
Caution: Failure to observe static safety precautions could cause damage to the module. Follow
static safety handling rules and wear the antistatic wrist strap.
Do not cut the non-conductive bag to remove the module. Sharp objects contacting the board or
components can cause damage.
Precaución: Si no toma las medidas de seguridad necesarias para evitar descargas de
electricidad estática, es posible que el módulo se dañe. Siga los consejos de seguridad para la
manipulación del producto y no olvide utilizar la pulsera antiestática.
No corte la bolsa antiestática para sacar el módulo. Tenga en cuenta que si algún objeto cortante
entra en contacto con la placa o con los componentes, éstos podrían dañarse.
