the same ground point the power service uses in your area. The ground path must be permanent.
Important Points to Remember for Installing an Ethernet Module
• Installing and swapping of Ethernet modules must be done BEFORE power up. If you need to install or replace a
module, power down the system before you install or replace it. If you install or replace a module when the
system is powered up, the system does not recognize the module. Online insertion of modules can result in a
catastrophic failure.
• Although the handle and port numbering may appear differently on an Ethernet module, there is no functional
difference. A module may have:
– A larger handle that covers the entire front of the module and has the part number written on top of the
handle. Port numbering is written on the front of the handle.
