Add a MIC
To add a MIC to an operational system, perform the following steps:
1. Prepare for installation:
a. Ensure that the system is fully operational (you have the CLI prompt on the console).
b. Follow the guidelines in the “Completing the Installation” section in Chapter 4, “Installing the
Hardware,” to select the slot for the MIC.
c. Put on an antistatic wrist strap (one is shipped with the system), and attach it to an appropriate
grounded surface.
2. Loosen the captive screws and remove the MIC slot cover that is installed in the slot for the new MIC.
Note Do not attach the wrist strap to a painted surface; there is an ESD convenience jack located in
the lower right corner of the air intake panel on the front of the chassis.
