Installing an Optional Module into the Switch

Caution: DO NOT install slide-in modules with the switch powered on.
Note: Be sure to install 100BASE-FX modules in the front-panel slot
and 1000BASE-X modules in the rear-panel slot.
To install an optional module into the switch, do the following:
1. Disconnect power to the switch.
2. Remove the blank metal plate (or a previously installed module) from
the appropriate slot by removing the two screws with a flat-head
screwdriver.
3. Before opening the package that contains the module, touch the bag to
the switch casing to discharge any potential static electricity. Also, it is
recommended to use an ESD wrist strap during installation.
4. Remove the module from the anti-static shielded bag.
5. Holding the module level, guide it into the carrier rails on each side
and gently push it all the way into the slot, ensuring that it firmly
engages with the connector.
