Installing Modules into the Matrix E7 Chassis
3.2.2.2
Removing the Locking Bar GPIM
CAUTION: Do NOT remove a GPIM from a slot without unlocking the metal locking bar.
This can damage the GPIM.
The GPIM and the module are sensitive to static discharges. Use an antistatic wrist
strap and observe all static precautions during this procedure. Failure to do so could
result in damage to the GPIM or module. Always leave the GPIM in the antistatic bag or
an equivalent antistatic container when not installed.
Remove a GPIM from its slot in a module as follows:
1. Attach the antistatic wrist strap (refer to the instructions in the antistatic wrist strap package)
before removing the GPIM.
2. Remove any cables or dust protectors connected to the GPIM.
3. Locate the metal locking bar that is on the front of the GPIM.
4. Lift the metal locking bar upwards as far as it will go. See
the GPIM clips.
5. Holding the metal locking bar in the upwards position, grasp the sides of the GPIM and pull it
out of the module.
6. If storing or shipping the GPIM, insert the dust protector into the GPIM to protect the fiber ports.

INSTALLING MODULES INTO THE MATRIX E7 CHASSIS
CAUTION: Failure to observe static safety precautions could cause damage to the
module. Follow static safety handling rules and wear the antistatic wrist strap provided
with the Matrix E7 chassis.
Do not cut the non-conductive bag to remove the module. Sharp objects contacting the
board or components can cause damage.
NOTE: GPIM options may be installed before or after the module is installed into the
chassis.
The DCM (Distributed Chassis Management) and SecureFast Switching functionality of
the SmartSwitch 6000 is not supported when the modules are installed in a Matrix E7
chassis. Refer to the module release notes for specific information on supported
functionality.
