Foundry Hardware Installation Guide for the FES, FESX, and FWSX
Installing or Replacing a 10-Gigabit Ethernet Module
NOTE: This section applies to the FESX and FWSX devices only.
The 1-port and 2-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet modules are optional. You can order the FESX and FWSX with a 10-
Gigabit module installed at the factory, or you can later upgrade your device.
This section provides the steps for installing, removing, and replacing the 10-Gigabit Ethernet module. You will
need the following tools to perform these procedures:
#2 Phillips-head screwdriver
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) kit

Disassembling the Chassis

This section provides instructions for disassembling the FastIron chassis so that you can install, remove, or
replace a 10-Gigabit Ethernet module.
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.
Use a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the screw that secures the power supplies, or power supply and
blank faceplate, in place. The screw is located on the rear of the device, in between the two power supply
slots.
3.
Remove the power supply and blank faceplate, or dual power supplies, as instructed in the section "Removing
an AC Power Supply" on page 6-2 or "Removing a DC Power Supply" on page 6-4. Use the appropriate
procedures according to the type of supply or supplies installed in the device.
4.
Remove the device's cover and faceplate:
Use a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the two screws on each side of the cover. (There are four
screws altogether.) If the device was mounted on a rack, remove the two mounting brackets as well.
Figure 3.1 on page 3-8 shows the location of the mounting brackets and screws.
Gently slide the cover approximately one inch towards the rear of the unit, then lift the cover off of the
chassis.
Remove the faceplate located in the upper left-hand corner of the front panel. Use a #2 Phillips-head
screwdriver to remove the two screws that secure it in place. Place the blank faceplate in a safe place for
future use.
5.
Proceed to the section "Removing a 10-Gigabit Ethernet Module" on page 6-6 or "Installing a 10-Gigabit
Ethernet Module" on page 6-7.

Removing a 10-Gigabit Ethernet Module

1.
Disassemble the FastIron chassis as instructed in the section "Disassembling the Chassis" on page 6-6.
2.
Remove the 10-Gigabit module:
Unplug the power cable from the rear of the 10-Gigabit module.
Use a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver to loosen and remove the three screws on the 10-Gigabit module.
Gently lift the module up and out of the chassis.
3.
Place the 10-Gigabit module in an anti-static bag for storage.
4.
Unplug the power cable for the 10-Gigabit module from the main board and remove it from the chassis.
