Removing and Installing Ethernet Modules in the Chassis

Step 5 Depending on the orientation of the slots in the chassis (horizontal or vertical), perform one of the

following two sets of substeps:

Horizontal slots

a. Place your thumbs on the left and right ejector levers located on the left and right sides of the module

faceplate, and simultaneously rotate the levers outward to unseat the Ethernet module from the

chassis backplane connector.

b. Grasp the front edge of the Ethernet module and slide the module part of the way out of the slot.

Place your other hand under the Ethernet module to support the weight of the module. Do not touch

the module circuitry.

c. Place the removed Ethernet module on a properly grounded antistatic mat or antistatic foam.

Vertical slots

a. Place your thumbs on the ejector levers located at the top and bottom of the Ethernet module, and

simultaneously rotate the levers outward to unseat the Ethernet module from the chassis backplane

connector.

b. Grasp the front edge of the Ethernet module and slide the module part of the way out of the slot.

Place your other hand under the Ethernet module to support the weight of the module. Do not touch

the module circuitry.

c. Place the removed Ethernet module on a properly grounded antistatic mat or antistatic foam.

Installing an Ethernet Module in the Chassis

Caution To prevent ESD damage, handle modules by the carrier edges only and wear grounding wrist straps.

Warning

Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into

beams or view directly with optical instruments.

Statement 1051

To install a module in the chassis, perform these steps:

Step 1 Verify that an ESD grounding strap is attached to your wrist and to proper ground.

Step 2 Verify that the captive installation screws are tightened on all of the modules installed in the chassis.

This step assures that the EMI gaskets on all of the installed modules are fully compressed in order to

maximize the opening space for the Ethernet module.

Note If the captive installation screws are loose, the electromagnetic interference (EMI) gaskets on

the installed modules expand and push the modules toward the open slot, which reduces the

opening size and makes it difficult to reinstall the module.
