All Alpine 3800 series switch module cards (SMMi modules and I/O modules) are
hot-swappable. You do not need to power off the system to remove or insert a module
card.
To remove and replace a module card, follow these steps:
1 Prior to installing module cards into the Alpine 3804 or Alpine 3808 chassis, put on
the ESD wrist strap that is provided with the chassis, and connect the metal end to
the ground receptacle located on the top-right corner of the Alpine 3800 front panel.
2 Loosen the module card by unscrewing the screws using a #2 Phillips-head
screwdriver.
3 Rotate the ejector/injector levers to disengage the module card from the backplane.
4 Slide the module card out of the chassis.
5 Slide the new module card into the appropriate slot of the chassis (SMMi modules
into the orange slot, I/O modules into Slots 1 through 4 on the Alpine 3804, or Slots
1 through 8 on the Alpine 3808), until it is fully seated in the backplane.
6 When the module is fully seated in the chassis, the ejector/injector levers will begin
to close.
7 To secure the module in the chassis, close the ejector/injector levers by pushing on
them toward the center of the module card, and tighten the screws using a #2
Phillips-head screwdriver.
Caution: The I/O module can only be installed in the slots labeled Slot 1 through
Slot 4 on the Alpine 3804, or Slot 1 through Slot 8 on the Alpine 3808. Forceful
insertion can damage the I/O module.
Caution: Ensure that the sheet metal of the module, and not the PCB board,
engages the card cage runners.
