    DFE Module Placement and Installation Rules Figure 3-1 To ensure proper operation of the system, consider the following examples and rules for  module placement in either chassis. Example 1 (Figure Shows one module installed in the chassis. If the chassis is populated with only one  4xxxxx, it must be installed in slot 1.  Rule: If only one 4xxxxx is installed in the chassis, it must be in slot 1. Always install a  4xxxxx in slot 1 of the chassis. Example 2 (Figure Shows the chassis fully populated with 4xxxxx modules. All modules may be hot  swapped, except the module in slot 1. If the module in slot 2 is designated as a redundant  management module, the module in slot 1 may be hot swapped without shutting down  the system. The module in slot 2 can be designated using the CLI command  set license <license key>. For information on how to use this command, refer to the Enterasys Matrix DFE‐Gold Series  Configuration Guide. To access this guide on the web, refer to  “Related Documents” on  page xvi.  Without a designated redundant management module in slot 2, removing the module in  slot 1 will shut down the system. Rule: Any module in a 4xxxxx system, including the management module in slot 1, may  be hot swapped when there is a 4xxxxx module designated as a redundant management  module in slot 2. 3-4 Installation Examples, Slot Numbers/Module Placement in Matrix E7 Chassis 3-1, A) 3-1, B)
  • Page 35: Installing Module Into A Chassis

    Example 3 (Figure Shows the primary management module missing from slot 1. As long as the module  installed in slot 2 is designated as a redundant management module, the module in slot 1  can be removed without affecting system operation. However, if there is no module in  slot 1, and the system is powered down, it cannot be restarted without a module in slot 1. Caution: When installing a module into slot 1 of a non-operating chassis, it is strongly recommended that the module have the desired version of firmware. Installation of a replacement module into slot 1 of a non-operating chassis requires reconfiguration of the system settings.
  • Page 36: Preparation

    Installing Module into a Chassis Preparation 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.) Remove the module from the shipping box. (Save the box and packing materials in  the event the module needs to be reshipped.) 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.

Caution: Due to the amount of force needed to properly seat the module connectors into the backplane connectors, it is best to apply force to the end of the levers to insert (or eject) the module. Otherwise, damage could result to the module and chassis. Precaución: Para colocar los conectores del módulo en los conectores del panel posterior correctamente es necesario hacer bastante fuerza, por ello, para insertar o quitar el módulo, se recomienda concentrar la fuerza en el extremo de las palancas.

If automatic‐negotiation is not activated on a port, use a straight‐through cable when  connecting a workstation to the port. When connecting a networking device to the port,  such as a bridge, repeater, or router, use a crossover cable. If a port is set for auto‐negotiation, automatic‐polarity sensing is also activated.  Automatic‐polarity sensing eliminates the need for a crossover cable, regardless if the  connection is to another network device or a workstation.
