CAUTION
MSMs and I/O modules only fit properly into their designated slots. Forceful insertion into the wrong slot type
can damage the module.
2 Attach the ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect the metal end of the wrist strap to
the ground receptacle on the top left corner of the switch front panel.
3 Remove the blank faceplate from the slot to make room for the module, if applicable.
NOTE
Any unoccupied module slot in the chassis should have a blank faceplate installed to ensure satisfactory
protection from EMI and to maintain adequate airflow through the chassis.

a Place the anti-static bag containing the module on a flat surface that is clear of any debris.
b Break any seals on the bag.
c Open the bag and firmly grasp the rail of the module.
d Holding the rail of the module, pull the ESD bag off the module.
NOTE
By holding the rail of the module and pulling the ESD bag off the module, you will prevent damage to the
module that might be caused by sliding the module on the ESD surface.
Store the module packaging for future use.

CAUTION
To prevent ESD damage, handle the module by the metal panel edges only. Never touch the components on the
printed circuit board or the pins on any of the connectors.
