Installing Port Expansion Modules
Up to three optional port expansion modules can be installed in the IntraCore
8000, in addition to a stack matrix module. (A stack matrix module is needed
only if more than two units are stacked together. See “Stacking Switches.”)
To install any combination of Gigabit Ethernet Switch (GBIC) modules and
8-port 10/100 Switch modules, use the following procedure.
I Important: Make sure the IntraCore 8000 is properly
installed in an equipment rack or resting on a flat, stable
surface. Also make sure the power cord is disconnected
for initial installation.
1 Remove the cover plate from the slot where you intend to
install the expansion module.
2 Align the bottom of the expansion module with the rails
inside the IntraCore 8000 slot, as shown in Figure 2-2.
3 Slide the module into the slot until it stops, then push the
module in gently until it seats with the connector.

4 Tighten the thumbscrews at the ends of the module’s face
plate. Use a straight-bladed screwdriver so the thumb-
screws cannot be loosened by hand.
Installation of the module is complete. Repeat this procedure for each
module you have purchased.
I Important: Do not remove modules from the IntraCore
8000 unless you are a qualified System Administrator.
