Removing and Installing Ethernet Modules in the Chassis

Step 3 Fully open both ejector levers on the Ethernet module. (See Figure 19.)

Step 4 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. Position the Ethernet module in the slot. (See Figure 19.) Make sure that you align the edges of the

module carrier with the slot guides on each side of the slot.

b. Carefully slide the Ethernet module into the slot until the EMI gasket along the top edge of the

module makes contact with the module in the slot above it and both ejector levers have engaged and

closed to approximately 45 degrees with respect to the Ethernet module faceplate. (See Figure 20.)

c. Using the thumb and forefinger of each hand, grasp the two ejector levers and press down to create

a small (0.040 inch [1 mm]) gap between the module’s EMI gasket and the module above it. (See

Figure 20.)

Caution Do not press down too hard on the levers because they can bend and be damaged.

d. While gently pressing down, simultaneously close the left and right ejector levers to fully seat the

Ethernet module in the chassis backplane connector. The ejector levers are fully closed when they

are flush with the module faceplate. (See Figure 21.)

Note Failure to fully seat the module in the chassis backplane connector can result in error

messages.

e. Tighten the two captive installation screws on the Ethernet module.

Note Make sure that the ejector levers are fully closed before tightening the captive installation

screws.

f. Verify that the Ethernet module STATUS LED is lit. Check the STATUS LED periodically. If the

STATUS LED changes from orange to green, the module has successfully completed the boot

process and is now online. If the STATUS LED remains orange or turns red, the module has not

successfully completed the boot process and may have encountered an error.
