OS6800-XNI-U2 10 Gigabit Expansion Module

Removing 10 Gigabit Modules

To remove an expansion module from the chassis, follow the steps below:
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.
1 Loosen the two captive screws, located at the left and right sides of the module's front panel. If neces-
sary, use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the screws.
Note. Be sure that both captive screws are completely disengaged from the threaded holes in the chassis
before continuing.
2
Once the captive screws are completely disengaged, grasp the handle and slowly pull the module out of
the slot.
3
Store the module in a secure location. Placing the module in an anti-static bag is recommended.

Blank Cover Panel Requirement

If you are not replacing the expansion module being removed, be sure to install a blank cover panel
(supplied with your switch) over the empty module slot. To install a blank cover panel, follow the steps
below.
1 Slide the blank cover panel into the empty slot and insert two Phillips screws (also supplied with the
switch) through the panel and into the threaded holes in the chassis.
2 Once the screws are inserted, fasten the panel to the chassis by tightening the screws. Be sure not to
overtighten the screws.
