Installing a New IOP Module
When adding a new IOP module to the switch, you must first install its IOA module,
as described in the following sections.
Installing a New IOA Module
1. Put on an antistatic wrist strap (provided in the accessory kit) and plug it into the
ESD grounding jack on the switch.
2. Remove the blank cover from the selected slot by loosening its screws.
3. Align the IOA with the card guides and insert it into the back of the switch.
4. Slide the IOA all the way into the switch and hand-tighten the thumbscrews.
Note – Unused IOA slots contain blank filler covers.
Warning – The following procedure may make the device susceptible to electrostatic
charge.
!
Caution – Unlike previous CBX 500 modules, the 32-Port Channelized T1/E1 FR/IP
IOM uses a new type of connector with closely-spaced pin alignments. You should
carefully plug in and secure the IOA before connecting the input/output processor
(IOP) module to it.
