Installing a Switch
Mount the Switch Module in the Server Chassis
McDATA 4314 switch modules are installed in server chassis I/O slots 3 and 4
as shown in Figure 3-1. For a single switch module installation, use slot 4. Do
not attempt to install the McDATA 4314 switch module in any other I/O slots.
Figure 3-1. Mounting the Switch Module in the Server Chassis
To insert the McDATA 4314 switch module, do the following:
1. Verify that chassis I/O slots 3 and 4 are empty.
2. Gripping from the top and bottom of the release latch, gently squeeze the
latch to free the insertion arm.
3. Swing the insertion arm out (away from the chassis) until it is completely
open.
4. Slide the switch module into the open I/O slot.
5. Push the insertion arm gently toward the chassis until it is completely
closed and the switch module is firmly seated.
CAUTION
Do not force the arm closed. Doing so could cause damage. Instead, if the
switch module does not close easily, gently remove the switch module and
reinsert it.
When energized, the switch module responds in the following sequence:
1. The switch module LEDs (Identifier, Input Power, System Fault)
illuminate followed by all port Logged-In LEDs.
2. After a couple seconds the System Fault LED is extinguished while the
Input Power LED remains illuminated.
