Installing The Module - 3Com CoreBuilder 5000 User Manual

Installing the
Module
You do not need to power off the CoreBuilder 5000 hub to install or
remove the 12-Port 100BASE-TX Workgroup FastModule. You can
insert the module while the hub is operating (this is called a hot swap).
To install a 12-Port 100BASE-TX Workgroup FastModule into the hub:
1 Use one of the following proper grounding techniques when you install
the 12-Port 100BASE-TX Workgroup FastModule:
a Properly ground yourself prior to handling the 12-Port 100BASE-TX
Workgroup FastModule.
b Attach a static wrist guard to yourself or touch a grounded static
mat prior to handling the 12-Port 100BASE-TX Workgroup
FastModule.
2 Configure the 12-Port 100BASE-TX Workgroup FastModule:
a If you plan to install the 12-Port 100BASE-TX Workgroup
FastModule in a managed hub (for example, DMM Version v4.10),
go to step 3 to complete the installation. To configure the
appropriate settings, refer to the section
later in Chapter 4.
b If you plan to insert the 12-Port 100BASE-TX Workgroup
FastModule in an unmanaged hub, configure the DIP switch settings
on the module to the desired settings (refer to the section
DIP Switches earlier in this chapter) and go to step 4.
3 To determine if the hub has enough power for the new module, from
the DMM command line, enter the SHOW POWER BUDGET command.
Refer to Appendix A, Specifications, for details on power requirements
for each of the specified watts ranges.
Refer to the CoreBuilder 5000 Distributed Management Module
Commands Guide for information on the SHOW POWER BUDGET
command.
4 Locate an open slot in the hub. Remove the appropriate number of
blank panels on the hub to expose a slot for the module, if necessary.
