This section contains the procedure for installing an optional XEM2
Ethernet line card in the expansion slot in the front panel of the
x950-28XSQ and x950-28XTQm switches. For background information,
refer to Chapter 2, "XEM2 Ethernet Line Cards" on page 51. The
illustrations show the XEM2-12XT Line Card. The procedure is the same
for all line card models.
Note
The x950-52XSQ switch does not support the XEM2 line cards.
Caution
The device can be damaged by static electricity. Be sure to follow
proper anti-static precautions when installing the device. Allied
Telesis recommends using a properly grounded wrist strap or other
personal anti-static device and an anti-static mat.
To install an XEM2 Ethernet line card, perform the following procedure:
1. Using a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver, loosen the two captive screws
on the blank expansion slot panel and remove it from the switch. Refer
