Installing The Management And Interface Modules; Interface Modules - IBM s-series Installation And User Manual

Installing the management and interface modules

This section provides the procedures for installing the management and interface
modules. Although the modules may differ in size and function, the procedure for
installing each of them into the chassis is the same. The procedure described in
this section applies to all devices.
The B08S and B16S management modules are hot swappable, which means you
can remove and insert them while the chassis is powered on and running.
Notes:
1. The interface modules are interchangeable among the s-series products.
2. You cannot mix IPv4 and IPv6 modules together in the same chassis. A chassis
Table 14 provides the chassis slot numbers into which you must install the modules.
The following figures show the chassis with slot numbers:
v B08S - Figure 2 on page 7.
v B16S - Figure 4 on page 9.
Attention:
installed in the slot. If you operate the chassis with an uncovered empty slot, the
system will overheat.
Before installing a module in the chassis, have the following on hand:
v An ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to the ESD connector on the
v A #2 Phillips-head or flathead screwdriver.
To install a module in the chassis, do the following:
1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by inserting the plug into the
2. Remove the module from its packaging.
3. Insert the management module or the interface module into the appropriate
