3.2.6 Installing 6C105 Interface Modules
The 6C105 Interface Modules can be installed in any of the 5 slots that are
available. To install a module, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the blank panel covering the slot in which the Interface
Module will be installed. All other slots must remain covered to ensure
proper airflow and cooling. (Save the blank plate in the event you need
to remove the module.)
2. Carefully remove the module from the shipping box. (Save the box
and packing materials in the event the module must be reshipped.)
3. Locate the ESD wrist strap shipped with the 6C105. Attach the ESD
wrist strap to your wrist and plug the cable from the ESD wrist strap
into the ESD grounding receptacle at the upper right corner of the
6C105.
4. Remove the module from the plastic bag. (Save the bag in the event
the module must be reshipped.) Observe all precautions to prevent
damage from Electrostatic Discharge (ESD).
5. Examine the module for damage. If any damage exists, DO NOT
install the module. Immediately contact the Cabletron Systems Global
Call Center.
6. Locate the slot guides that line up with the number of the slot in which
the module will be installed. Install the Interface Module in the chassis
by aligning the module circuit card between the upper and lower metal
rail guides of the desired slot, sliding it into the chassis, and locking
down the top and bottom plastic locking tabs, as shown in Figure 3-5.
Take care that the Interface Module slides in straight and properly
engages the backplane connectors.
!
CAUTION
To prevent damaging the backplane connectors in the following
step, take care that the module slides in straight and properly
engages the backplane connectors.
NOTE
In the following step ensure that the top plastic locking tab lines
up with the desired slot number located on the front panel of
the chassis. Refer to Figure 3-5.
