Installing the Module into the SmartSwitch 9000
Chassis
The SmartSwitch 9000 MicroLAN Module may be installed into any of the 14 slots
that are available. To install a module, follow the steps below:
1. Switch off the power supplies and remove all power from the SmartSwitch
9000 chassis.
2. Remove the blank panels, covering the slots that the module is being mounted
in. All other slots must be covered, if modules are not being installed, to
ensure proper airflow and cooling.
3. Attach one end of the ESD wrist strap packaged with the SmartSwitch 9000
chassis to your wrist. Plug the other end into the ESD Wrist Strap Grounding
receptacle in the lower right corner of the SmartSwitch 9000 chassis shown in
Figure 2-4.
4. The module is installed into the chassis by sliding it into slots and locking
down both the top and bottom plastic tabs, as shown in Figure 2-4. Take care
that the module slides in straight and engages the backplane connectors
properly. When installing the module, ensure that both circuit cards are
between the card guides, as shown in Figure 2-4. Check both the upper and
lower tracks of both cards.
