Installing an Ethernet Module in the Chassis
Caution To prevent ESD damage, handle modules by the carrier edges only and wear grounding wrist straps.
Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into
Warning
beams or view directly with optical instruments. Statement 1051
To install a module in the chassis, perform these steps:
Verify that an ESD grounding strap is attached to your wrist and to proper ground.
Step 1
Verify that the captive installation screws are tightened on all of the modules installed in the chassis.
Step 2
This step assures that the EMI gaskets on all of the installed modules are fully compressed in order to
maximize the opening space for the Ethernet module.

Place your thumbs on the left and right ejector levers located on the left and right sides of the module
faceplate, and simultaneously rotate the levers outward to unseat the Ethernet module from the
chassis backplane connector.
Grasp the front edge of the Ethernet module and slide the module part of the way out of the slot.
Place your other hand under the Ethernet module to support the weight of the module. Do not touch
the module circuitry.
Place the removed Ethernet module on a properly grounded antistatic mat or antistatic foam.
Place your thumbs on the ejector levers located at the top and bottom of the Ethernet module, and
simultaneously rotate the levers outward to unseat the Ethernet module from the chassis backplane
connector.
Grasp the front edge of the Ethernet module and slide the module part of the way out of the slot.
Place your other hand under the Ethernet module to support the weight of the module. Do not touch
the module circuitry.
Place the removed Ethernet module on a properly grounded antistatic mat or antistatic foam.
If the captive installation screws are loose, the electromagnetic interference (EMI) gaskets on
the installed modules expand and push the modules toward the open slot, which reduces the
opening size and makes it difficult to reinstall the module.
