Chapter 5 Installing Optional Modules
You can purchase optional modules separately to meet the needs of
your network. The process of installing optional modules is the same.
Follow these steps to install the optional module:
1. Power the Switch off before installing the optional module.
2. Place the Switch on a flat surface. Grasp the thumbscrew on the
sides of the optional module or blank bracket and turn counter-
clockwise to unscrew them. You can also use a screwdriver. Remove
the old module or the blank bracket and set aside. Do not discard
the module or blank bracket. Put the module or blank bracket back
in if you remove the new module.
3. Install the new module by inserting it into the guides and sliding it in
until it stops (See Figure 7). Press it firmly until you feel the module
snap into place. Never force, twist or bend the optional module. The
optional module slides in smoothly.
4. Gently push the thumbscrews in and turn clockwise to tighten. Do
not over tighten the thumbscrews.
5. Power the Switch on after you have installed the new module. The
Switch will automatically detect the new module.
