Take additional care when handling Ethernet Switch Modules during cold weather because heating
reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.
Installing the Ethernet Switch Module into Dell Modular
Server Chassis
This section applies only to additional or replacement Ethernet Switch Modules not included in
the initial Dell Modular Server Chassis system order.
NOTE:
Neither the PowerEdge Server Module nor the Dell Modular Server Chassis needs to be powered
down to install a Ethernet Switch Module.
To install an Ethernet Switch Module into a Dell Modular Server Chassis perform the following:
1
Review and become familiar with the safety and handling guidelines specified under "Safety"
and "Handling Static Sensitive Devices."
2
Select a Chassis I/O Module bay in which to install the Ethernet Switch Module. In this
example, an Ethernet Switch Module is being installed in the Chassis I/O Module Bay 1. For
other modules and their positions see "Ethernet Controller Enumeration."
3
Remove the end-cap (blank plug) from the selected bay. Store the end-cap (blank plug) for
future use.
4
If not already done, touch the static-protective package that contains the Ethernet Switch
Module to an unpainted metal part of Dell Modular Server Chassis for at least two seconds.
5
Remove the Ethernet Switch Module from its static-protective package.
6
Ensure that the release latch on the Ethernet Switch Module is in the open position
(perpendicular to the module).
