Foundry Switch and Router Installation and Configuration Guide
4. If you are installing a redundant management module in an unoccupied module slot, remove the blank
faceplate from the slot in which the module is to be installed. Place the blank faceplate in a safe place for
future use.
5. Remove the redundant management module from its packaging.
6. 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.
• Modules for 4-slot chassis slide in horizontally with the module label on the left.
• Modules for 8-slot chassis slide in vertically with the module label at the top.
• Modules for 15-slot chassis slide in vertically with the module label at the top.
7. Push the ejectors toward the center of the module until they are flush with the front panel of the module. The
module will be fully seated in the backplane.
8. Tighten the two screws at either end of the module.
9. If you do not use one or more of the slots, make sure that a slot faceplate is still attached over each unused
slot for safe operation and proper system cooling.
Installing and Removing GBICs
The Management IV models that have ports use GBIC modules for the ports.
WARNING: The GBICs are Class 1 Laser products.
To install a GBIC:
1. Put on an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap and attach the clip end to a metal surface (such as an
equipment rack) to act as ground.
2. Remove the GBIC from its protective packaging.
3. Gently insert the GBIC into the slot on the front panel of the module until the GBIC clicks into place. The
GBICs are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion.
4. Remove the protective covering from the port connectors and store the covering for future use.
5. Insert the interface cable.
To remove a GBIC:
1. Put on an ESD wrist strap and attach the clip end to a metal surface (such as an equipment rack) to act as
ground.
2. Disconnect the interface cable from the GBIC.
3. Insert the protective covering into the port connectors.
4. Squeeze and hold the tabs on each side of the GBIC, then gently pull the GBIC out of the module.
5. Store the GBIC in a safe, static-free place.
Determining Redundant Management Module Status
You can determine the status of a redundant management module in the following ways:
• Status LED – The redundant management module has two green LEDs on the right side of the CLI serial
port. The lower LED shows the management status.
• Module information in software – The module information displayed by the software indicates whether the
module is the active module, the standby module, or has another status.
Status LED
If you are located near the device, you can determine which redundant management module is currently the active
module and which one is the standby by observing the upper green LED to the right of the serial management
