Installing A Module; Hp9304M Module Installation - HP Cluster Platform Interconnects v2010 Manual

the modules in your switch, adhere to the following procedures to avoid damage from static
electricity:
• Handle the module by its bulkhead or edges and avoid touching the components and the
circuitry on the board.
• When installing the module, equalize any static charge difference between your body and
the switch by wearing a grounding wrist strap and attaching it to the metal body of the
switch module, or by frequently touching the metal body of the switch module.
Instructions for installing and removing a module are presented in this section.

8.3.1 Installing a Module

To install a module in the chassis, do the following:
1. Put on an ESD wrist strap and attach the copper tape to a grounded metal surface (e.g. an
equipment rack) to act as ground.
Caution:
To avoid risk of shock, do not attach the copper tape to the air flow panel of the power
supply. For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap provided with your product contains a series
limiting resistor. If a replacement ESD strap is used, make certain that it contains a series
limiting resistor with at least 1M Ohm of resistance. Also, make certain the strap is not
connected to any internal part of your ProCurve chassis.
2. Remove the blank face plate from the slot in which the module is to be installed. Place the
blank face plate in a safe place for future use.
3. Remove the module from its packaging.
4. Insert the module into the chassis slot and glide the card along the card guide until the card
ejectors on the front of the module touch the chassis.
