The switch has four bays and you can choose any one of them to install a module. The switch
detects where the modules are installed so the order is not important.
You can also install a new module or hot swap an existing module while the switch is operational.
Note:
When looking at the front of the switch, slot numbering begins at the top row and increases from
left to right. Slot 1 is the top-left slot; slot 2 is the top-right slot. Slot 3 is the bottom-left slot; slot
4 is the bottom-right slot.
Before you begin
To prevent damage, handle the ESMs carefully by using the following guidelines:
• To prevent damage from electrostatic discharge, always wear an antistatic wrist strap
connected to an ESD jack.
• Always place the modules on appropriate antistatic material.
• Support the module from underneath with two hands. Do not touch components or connector
pins with your hand, or damage can result.
• Visually inspect the connectors for damage before you insert the module. If you insert a module
with damaged connectors you will damage the switch.
• Do not stack modules one on top of the other when you move them.
• Do not leave bays open. Fill all bays with modules or module bay covers to maintain safety
compliance, proper cooling, and EMI containment.
• Do not over tighten screws. Tighten until snug. Do not use a power tool to tighten screws.
Procedure
1. Remove the two screws that secure the module bay cover to the chassis. (Save the module
bay cover for possible future use.)
