Installing a SmartStack Interface Module

Follow these steps to install a SmartStack Interface Module (SSIM), if you have
received one. Also, see the user documentation supplied with the module.
1. If you have not already done so, unplug or remove power from the switch.
2. Remove the SSIM from its box.
3. Remove the plate covering the SSIM slot on the front of the switch by loosening
the two thumbscrews holding it in place. See Figure 18. Use a screwdriver if the
screws are too tight to be removed with your fingers. Retain the plate and
thumbscrews for use in the event that the SSIM is ever removed.
4. Insert the card in the SSIM slot carefully, fitting each side into the card rails, and
making sure that the connector on the card is seated in the connector at the back
of the slot.
5. Secure the card with the two thumbscrews attached to it. This is illustrated in
the publication that was shipped with the SSIM.
6. It may be necessary to download new microcode to the switch in order to use a
specific SSIM. Refer to the instructions that came with your SSIM package.
