Order of Installation
Activities
3Com recommends that you install CoreBuilder 9000 modules in the
following order:
1
Management Modules
One Enterprise Management Engine (EME) is required (order number
3CB9EME). A second EME or an Enterprise Management Controller
(EMC) is optional (order number 3CB9EMC). By installing the
management modules first, you can complete the required system-level
setup procedures before you add other modules to the chassis. For
more information, see the following documents:
■
Enterprise Management Engine User Guide
■
Enterprise Management Engine Quick Start Guide
■
Enterprise Management Controller Quick Start Guide
2
Switch Fabric Modules
Because you manage a GEN Interface Module through the primary GEN
Switch Fabric Module, you must install one GEN Switch Fabric Module
first. In the 16-slot chassis, a second GEN Switch Fabric Module is
optional. See the
Gigabit Ethernet Switch Fabric Module Quick Start
Guide
for more information.
3
Interface Modules
Install all interface modules, such as the 2-port 1000BASE-SX GEN
Interface Module, the 2-port 1000BASE-LX GEN Interface Module, or
the 36-port 10/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet RJ-45 Layer 2 Switching
Module, last. You can install interface modules in any order, but see
your module documentation for chassis slot restrictions and
recommendations. For restrictions and recommendations for the GEN
Interface Modules, see “Module Placement in the Chassis” next in this
guide.
