Installing the Module into the MATRIX E7 Chassis
Installation 3-3
3.3 INSTALLING THE MODULE INTO THE MATRIX E7 CHASSIS
The 6H352-25 can be installed in any of the slots that are available.
To install a module, refer to Figure 3-1 and proceed as follows:
1. Remove the blank panel covering the slot in which the 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 antistatic wrist strap shipped with the 6H352-25. Attach the antistatic wrist strap to
your wrist and plug the cable from the antistatic wrist strap into the ESD grounding receptacle
at the upper right corner of the MATRIX E7 chassis.
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).
CAUTION: Failure to observe static safety precautions could cause damage to the
6H352-25. Follow static safety handling rules and wear the antistatic wrist strap
provided with the MATRIX E7 chassis.
Do not cut the non-conductive bag to remove the module. Sharp objects contacting the
board or components can cause damage.
NOTE: The 6H3xx (third generation modules) can provide backplane connectivity for
the 6x1xx and 6x2xx series (first and second generation modules) in the MATRIX E7
chassis, from slots 1 through 5 to slots 6 and 7.
First and second generation boards installed in slots one through five in the MATRIX E7
chassis cannot communicate with slots six and seven unless a third generation board
(6x3xx) is installed in one of the first five slots, providing backplane connectivity.
NOTE: Distributed Chassis Management functionality of the SmartSwitch 6000 chassis
is not supported for any generation of interface modules installed in a MATRIX E7
chassis. Refer to the module release notes for specific information on supported
functionality.
