1.8.2 Installing a Switch Set
If you have a rear-access server, you must install the rear transition module before
installing the front switch.
If you want to install the rear transition module, go to Section 1.8.2.1, “Installing
the Rear Transition Module for a Switch” on page 1-14.
If you want to install a switch, go to Section 1.8.2.2, “Installing a Switch” on
page 1-14.
1.8.2.1 Installing the Rear Transition Module for a Switch
1. Choose an appropriate slot for the rear transition module.
Rear transition modules must be installed inline behind the accompanying front
board. For example, if the accompanying front board is installed in slot 7, its rear
transition module must be installed at the back of the system in slot 7.
2. Remove the filler panel, if necessary.
3. Prepare the rear transition module by opening its injector/ejector handles.
4. Carefully align the edges of the board with the guides in the slot.
Look into the enclosure to verify correct alignment of the rails in the guides.
Caution Do not force the module into the slot. If it does not fit properly, check to
ensure that you have the correct matching RTM for the switch.
5. Keeping the board aligned in the guides, slide the board in until the
injector/ejector mechanisms engage the retention bar.
6. Simultaneously push in the board and rotate the injector/ejector handles to their
closed positions (rotate inward) to seat the midplane connectors.
7. Tighten the board retention screws to anchor the board in the shelf.
8. Connect the cables to the rear transition module.
1.8.2.2 Installing a Switch
1. Locate the switch slots.
The switches can be inserted only in slot 7 or slot 8 in the Netra CT 900 server.
2. Move the front cable management bracket to the lower position (
FIGURE 1-6).
3. Remove the filler panel, if necessary.
