Installing the 9E106-06 Module
The 9E106-06 Module may be installed in any of the 14 slots available in the
SmartSwitch 9000 chassis. To install the 9E106-06 Module, follow the steps below:
1. Remove the blank panel covering the slot that the module is being mounted
in. All other slots must be covered, if modules are not being installed, to
ensure proper airflow and cooling.
2. Carefully remove the module from the shipping box. (Save the box and
packing materials in the event the module must be reshipped.)
3. Attach one end of the ESD wrist strap packaged with the SmartSwitch 9000
chassis to your wrist. Plug the other end into the jack for the ESD Wrist Strap
in the lower right corner of the SmartSwitch 9000 chassis shown in Figure 2-1.
4. Remove the module from the plastic bag. Observe all precautions to prevent
damage from Electrostatic Discharge (ESD).
5. Carefully examine the module, checking for damage. If any damage exists,
DO NOT install the module. Contact Cabletron Systems Technical Support
immediately.
6. Before installing the 9E106-06 Module into the chassis, ensure that the bottom
and top plastic tabs are unlocked. Slide the module into an available slot and
ensure that the module is between the module guides, as shown in Figure 2-1.
Check both the upper and lower tracks. Take care that the module slides in
straight and engages the backplane connectors properly. Lock down the top
and bottom plastic tabs at the same time, applying even pressure.
