Installing the Module
Electrical Hazard: Only qualified personnel should perform
installation procedures.
Use this Quick Reference to install or replace a 10‐Gigabit IOM 
(Input/Output Module) into an available slot of an Enterasys 
G‐Series switch. Refer to the Enterasys G‐Series Hardware 
Installation Guide for the procedure to disconnect power and 
remove the switch from a rack.
Handling the IOM
Caution: The IOM can be damaged by electrostatic discharge.
To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following guidelines:
• Attach an ESD wrist strap to your wrist.
• Remove the IOM from its packaging only when ready to install. 
• Do not touch IOM pins, connectors, or components.
• Hold the IOM by its edges or front panel only.
• Store or transport the IOM only in anti‐static packaging.
Tools
This installation requires a Phillips screwdriver. 
IOM Installation Procedure
1. Remove the coverplate from the slot.
2. Insert the IOM in the guide rail of the slot. Gently slide the 
module into the slot, as shown in Figure
1, until the IOM 
engages the connector on the backplane and the module locks 
into place and is flush with adjoining coverplates.
3. Tighten the two captive screws.

4. To install additional modules, remove the coverplate(s) from 
the slot(s) and repeat the earlier steps. Save coverplates for 
optional future use.
5. After completing all module installation, be sure to install 
coverplate(s) over any unused IOM slot(s) to contain EMI 
radiation and ensure proper air circulation.
Note: You must reboot the system before hot-inserted IOM modules will be
recognized. Once rebooted, module LEDs will display as described later in
this document.
IOM Removal Procedure
Caution: Do not attempt to remove an IOM module from the G-Series
switch when power is on to the switch without performing the following
procedure.
1. Disconnect any cabling from the module.
2. Loosen the module's two captive screws.
3. Press the power off button corresponding to the slot from 
which you want to remove the IOM as shown in Figure

4. When the slot's POWER OFF status LED turns amber, gently 
slide the module out of the slot.
5. Replace the slot's coverplate to contain EMI radiation and 
ensure proper air circulation.
