Installation Precautions:
Static electricity can severely damage the electronic components on the modules. When
■
handling and installing the modules in your switch, follow these 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 switch's metal body,
or by frequently touching the switch's metal body.
The HP Switch zl Modules have "low-force", high-performance connectors. High insertion
■
forces are not necessary to install the modules, and should not be used.
■
Ensure you fully insert the modules. That is, press the module into the slot until the bulkhead
on the module is contacting or is very close to contacting the front face of the switch chassis.
Once the module is fully inserted, make sure you screw in the two retaining screws to secure
■
the module in place.
■
For safe operation, proper switch cooling, and reduction of electromagnetic emissions, ensure
that a slot cover is installed on any unused module slot. For safety, no more than one slot should
be uncovered at a time when the switch is powered on, except when installing a module that
requires two slots.
Ensure you check the temperature specifications for each module that will be installed into the
■
chassis as different modules have different temperature requirements.
Installing the Module in an Unused Slot
Installation Procedures:
1
1.
Use a Torx T-10
or flat-bladed screwdriver to unscrew the screws in the
cover plate over the slot you want to use, and remove the cover. Store
the cover plate for possible future use.
2.
Hold the module by its bulkhead—taking care not to touch the metal
connectors or components on the board.
3.
Open the extractor handles.
4.
Insert the module aligning with the guides in the slot and slide it into the
slot until it stops.
5.
Once the contacts have engaged, use the extractor handles to seat the
module completely.
6.
Tighten the screws.

The E8200 zl System Support Module (J9095A) uses Tamper-Resistant screws (TRS)
Torx-20 with a center security pin and no flat blade slot. A TRS wrench is included
with every separately purchased J9095A module.
