Installing Chassis Components

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Notice. Be sure to follow
proper procedures to eliminate electrostatic discharge
(ESD) from your person and the surrounding area before
installing chassis components.

Blank Cover Plates

Blank cover plates are factory-installed in the chassis and are
used to cover empty CMM, CFM and NI slots, as well as
empty power supply and fan bays. These cover plates play an
important role in chassis airflow and temperature management.
They also provide protection for module processor boards and
other sensitive internal switch components by closing off a
chassis that is not fully populated.
Because they regulate airflow and help protect internal chassis
components, blank cover plates should remain in place at all
times.

Installing CMM, CFM and NI Modules

Before installing modules in the OmniSwitch 10K, locate their
slot positions in the chassis. Slot numbers are clearly marked
on the OmniSwitch 10K front panel.
CMM modules may be installed in slots A and B. If two CMM
modules are installed in a chassis, the CMM occupying slot A
is the primary CMM by default. CFM modules may be
installed in slots C and D. NI modules may be installed in slots
1 through 8.
To install an CMM, CFM or NI module, follow the steps
below:
1 Insert the module into the slot along the chassis card
guides. The component side of the board should face right.
The module should slide in easily.
