Installing a Summit Port Option Card
You need the following tools and equipment to install a Summit option card:

● # 1 Phillips screwdriver
● Straight-tip screwdriver for the XGM3-2sf option card
CAUTION
Be sure that proper ESD controls are in use before switch maintenance is performed. This includes but is
not limited to wrist straps that are grounded to the switch chassis and earth grounds.
CAUTION
Pluggable optical modules may become very hot after prolonged use. Take care when removing a
pluggable optical module from the option card. If the pluggable optical module is too hot to touch, disengage the
module and allow it to cool before removing it completely.
