Installing a FastIron LS Switch
September 2007 © 2007 Foundry Networks, Inc. 3 - 15
NOTE: Slide-in modules are not hot-swappable. You must power off the switch before installing or removing a
module.
To install an optional module into the switch, do the following:
1. Remove the blank metal plate (or a previously installed module) from the appropriate slot by removing the two
screws with a flat-head screwdriver.
2. Before opening the package that contains the module, touch the bag to the switch casing to discharge any
potential static electricity. Foundry recommends using an ESD wrist strap during installation.
3. Remove the module from the anti-static shielded bag.
4. Holding the module level, guide it into the carrier rails on each side and gently push it all the way into the slot,
ensuring that it firmly engages with the connector.
5. When you are sure the module has properly engaged the connector, tighten the retainer screws to secure the
module in the slot.
6. When the device is powered on, the module LED on the switch’s front panel should turn green to confirm that
the module is correctly installed and ready to use.
CAUTION: If you do not install a module in a slot, you must keep the slot panel in place. If you run the device
with an uncovered slot, the system will overheat.
Installing an SFP Transceiver
Figure 3.10 Inserting an SFP transceiver into a slot
See Table 0.12 on page 2-7 for a list of compatible transceivers. To install an SFP transceiver, do the following:
1. Consider network and cabling requirements to select an appropriate SFP transceiver type.
2. Insert the transceiver with the optical connector facing outward and the slot connector facing down. SFP
transceivers are keyed so they can only be installed in one orientation.
3. Slide the SFP transceiver into the slot until it clicks into place.
NOTE: SFP transceivers are hot-swappable. The switch does not need to be powered off before installing or
removing a transceiver. However, always first disconnect the network cable before removing a transceiver.
NOTE: SFP transceivers are not provided in the switch package.
