Foundry Switch and Router Installation and Configuration Guide
Installing a POS Module
To install a POS module, perform the following tasks:
• Configure the chassis slot to receive the module.
NOTE: The system must be running software release 05.3.00 or later.
• Insert the module.
Configuring the Chassis to Receive the Module
When you plan to insert a module into a chassis slot, you first must configure the slot to receive the module unless
the slot already contains the same type of module.
USING THE CLI
To prepare slot 1 to receive a 622 Mbps POS module, enter the following commands at the global CONFIG level:
BigIron(config)# module 1 bi-pos-2-port-622m-module
BigIron(config)# write memory
Syntax: module <slot-num> <module-type>
The <slot-num> parameter specifies the chassis slot:
• Slots on a 4-slot chassis are numbered 1 – 4, from top to bottom.
• Slots on an 8-slot chassis are numbered 1 – 8, from left to right.
• Slots on a 15-slot chassis are numbered 1 – 15, from left to right.
In the current software release, the <module-type> for a POS module can be one of the following:
• bi-pos-2-port-622m-module
• bi-pos-2-port-155m-module
• bi-pos-4-port-155m-module
USING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE
1. Enter the BigIron's IP address in your Web browser's Location or Address field, then press Enter.
2. Log on to the BigIron using a valid user name and password for read-write access.
3. Select the System link to display the System configuration sheet (if not already displayed).

5. Select the Add Module link.
6. Select the chassis slot that will receive the module from the Slot field's pulldown menu.

following module types apply to POS modules:
• bi-pos-2-port-2488m-module
• bi-pos-2-port-622m-module
• bi-pos-4-port-155m-module
• bi-pos-2-port-155m-module
8. Click the Add button to send the configuration information to the chassis.
