5. Grip the latch handle and ease the IOM/EBOD expander module forward from the slot as shown within
Figure 75 on page 80.

Installing an IOM/EBOD expander module

See CAUTION bullets regarding electrostatic discharge and anti-static protection.
CAUTION: If passive copper cables are connected, the cable must not have a connection to a
common ground/earth point.
Note: When performing the following procedure, refer to Figure 75 on page 80 and Figure 74 on page 79
while ignoring the directional arrow. For installation, the IOM/EBOD expander module will travel in the
opposite direction relative to the arrow shown.
1. Examine the IOM/EBOD expander module for damage, and closely inspect the interface connector. Do
not install if the pins are bent.
2. Grasp the IOM/EBOD expander module using both hands, and with the latch in the open position,
orient the module and align it for insertion into the target IOM/EBOD expander module slot.
3. Ensuring the IOM/EBOD expander module is oriented as shown in the illustrations, slide it into the
enclosure as far as it will go.
An expansion enclosure canister that is only partially seated will prevent optimal performance of the
enclosure. Verify that the module is fully seated before continuing.
4. Set the module in position by manually closing the latch.
You should hear a click as the latch handle engages and secures the IOM/EBOD expander module to
its connector on the back of the midplane. Tighten the thumbscrew to secure the latch in place.
5. Reconnect the cables.
Note: Verify that the firmware in both IOMs/EBOD expander modules is compatible.
