Installing the Switch
5
You can install a module as described
below:
1. Disconnect power to the switch (the
modules are not hot-swappable).
2. Remove the face plate on the
appropriate slot by removing the two
screws with a flat-head screwdriver.
3. Before opening the package that
contains the module, touch the bag to the switch casing to discharge any
potential static electricity.
4. Remove the module from the anti-static shielded bag.
5. Holding the module level, gently push it all the way into the slot along the guide
rails, ensuring that it firmly engages with the connector.
6. If you are sure the module is properly mated with the connector, tighten the
retainer screws to secure the module in the expansion slot.
The slide-in modules are not hot-swappable. Be sure you power off the switch before
installing any of these modules.
Connecting to the Stack’s Backplane
Plug one end of the stack cable (provided with the
package) in the “Down” port of the top unit and the
other end to the “Up” port of the next unit. Repeat this
step for each unit in the stack. Form a simple chain
starting at the Down port on the top switch and ending
at the Up port on the bottom switch (stacking up to 4
units).
