Installing an Optional Module into the Switch

Optional modules are available for media expansion, stacking and
management. These modules can be installed into the modular slots on

the rear panel of the switch. The Management Module must be installed

in the upper slot, and the Stacking Module in the lower-left slot. The media
extension modules can be installed in either of the two lower slots.

To install an optional module into the switch, do the following:

1. Disconnect power to the switch.

2. Remove the blank metal plate (or a previously installed module) from

the appropriate slot by removing the two screws with a flat-head

screwdriver. A media module can be installed in either of the two
lower slots on the rear panel of the switch. A Management Module

can be installed in the upper slot on the rear of the switch.

3. Before opening the package that contains the module, touch the bag

to the switch casing to discharge any potential static electricity. Also,

use the ESD wrist strap included with the package.

4. Remove the module from the anti-static shielded bag.

5. Holding the module level, guide it into the carrier rails on each side

and gently push it all the way into the slot, ensuring that it firmly

engages with the connector.

6. If you are sure the module is properly mated with the connector,

tighten the retainer screws by hand to secure the module in the slot.

7. Connect power to the switch.

DO NOT install slide-in modules with the switch
powered on. Be sure you power off the switch before
installing any module.
