22 Installing the Hardware
E600i
RPMs
The E300 system requires the installation of at least one RPM, although two are
recommended for redundancy. RPMs are designed to be installed in either the
R0 or R1 slot. Do not force RPMs into line card slots. RPMs are keyed
differently than line cards to prevent improper installation.
Line Cards
Your E600i configuration requires a minimum of one line card. Line cards are
hot swappable.
Installing the RPMs and Line Cards
CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures
other than those specified herein may result in hazardous laser exposure.
NOTE: Line cards are hot swappable.
Installing Switch Fabric Modules (SFMs)
A minimum of four SFMs are required in order for the E600i system to operate
properly. There is an additional slot available for a redundant SFM.
NOTE: If you are not operating the system with SFM redundancy, install a blank
panel in the unused slot.
Step Task
1 Hold the card by the edges. Avoid touching the printed circuit board and
connector pins. Extend the left and right card levers before you insert
the card into the slot.
2 Align the card with the guide and gently slide it into the slot until you
feel the connectors engage with the chassis backplane.
3 Rotate the levers to seat the backplane connectors and line card in place.
4 Secure card and blanks in place by tightening the left and right captive
screws on each card.
5 Follow the same installation procedure for the remaining cards and slots.
