Installing an Optional Expansion or Stacking Module
For the
AT-8012M,
AT-8016F/xx,
AT-8024M, and
AT-8088/xx
This section describes how to install an optional expansion or stacking
module in the switch. The module slots are located on the left side of the
front panel of the switch.
Note
The modules can be hot-swapped, meaning that you do not need
to power off a switch to install these options.
To install a module, follow these steps:
1. Unpack the module from its shipping container and store the
packaging material in a safe location.
Note
You must use the original shipping material if you need to return
the module to Allied Telesyn.
Warning
An expansion or stacking module can be damaged by static
electricity. Be sure to observe all standard Electrostatic Discharge
(ESD) precautions, such as wearing an antistatic wrist strap, to avoid
damaging the module.
2. Refer to the module’s installation guide for a list of the items
included with the option. If any item is missing or damaged,
contact your Allied Telesyn sales representative for assistance.
3. Face the front panel of the switch and locate the expansion slots
(left side of switch).
4. To remove the expansion slot faceplate, use a Phillips screwdriver
to carefully loosen the installation screws found on the left and
right sides of the faceplate, as displayed in Figure 22.
