  • Page 3: Quick Overview

    QUICK OVERVIEW Installing test modules in the XenaBay C4-12 chassis requires the following steps to be completed. NOTE: A slightly different procedure is needed for the M6SFP+, M6RJ45+/n and +25GE modules – see the end of the document for instructions.
  • Page 4 The metal support bar holds test modules securely in place. This is very important during transport. It is also used to mount the fans that cool the chassis. These are attached to the chassis by four screws © Xena Networks - 2017...

  • Page 6 If necessary, disconnect the plug that powers the fans. © Xena Networks - 2017...
  • Page 7 The cover at the front of the slot needs to be removed before you can slide the new test module into place. You only need to remove one screw which you then (re)use in the next step. Please note that the tri-speed 100G test module (M1CFP100) requires two slots, as does M2CFP40. © Xena Networks - 2017...
  • Page 8 (those shipped before mid- 2017), the plastic rail needs to be unscrewed and removed. There are 3 versions of the rails but all are mounted on the “top” of the test modules (as shown below). © Xena Networks - 2017...

  • Page 10 Once you are satisfied with the positioning of both support bars, screw the Four lock screws firmly in place. (It can require a little juggling to ensure a proper fit.) STEP 7: Replace the top cover, by sliding it back into place and tightening the 2 screws at the back. © Xena Networks - 2017...
  • Page 11 It can be necessary to replace the BIOS battery. This is a simple operation that involves opening the lid of the chassis and finding the blue battery mounted on the motherboard on the right side of the chassis. Simply detach it from the motherboard and you can easily replace the watch or button cell battery. © Xena Networks - 2017...
  • Page 12 (M1CFP100) and the M2CFP40 require 2 slots in the chassis and have a larger power socket. The 6-port 10G test module (M6SFP+) has a power socket that is half the size of the M1CFP100 and it attaches to the test module, using a ‘2-to-1’ adapter as shown below. © Xena Networks - 2017...
  • Page 13 40GE/100GE Test Module Power Cable In the photo below you can see these four different test modules: 1. the short six-port M6SFP(B) 2. the mid-size M2SFP+ 3. the large M2QSFP+ 4. the 2-slot tri-speed M1CFP100 © Xena Networks - 2017...

  • Page 15 M1CFP100 & M2CFP40 First clip away the black plastic strip holding the power plug and cable in place. Then connect it to the large plug on the test module: Once connected, it will look like this: © Xena Networks - 2017...
  • Page 16 To minimize the risk of damage, please remove “long” test modules before transportation. This includes any test module(s) that extend past the metal restraining bar under the chassis lid. Always use the original Xena boxes for shipping (including the polystyrene foam and anti-static bags). © Xena Networks - 2017...
