Installing an Expansion Module
This section contains the instructions for installing an optional
expansion module in a switch. For information on cabling
specifications for the expansion modules, refer to the section
Expansion Modules on page 2-33.
To install an expansion module, perform the following steps:
1. Disconnect the switch’s power cord, if attached.
Caution
Be sure to disconnect the power cord to the switch before installing
an expansion module. If the switch is connected to a redundant
power supply (RPS) unit, disconnect the switch from the RPS unit as
well. Installing the expansion module with the switch powered ON
can damage the module.
2. Remove a blank faceplate from one of the expansion slots on the
front of the switch by unscrewing the faceplates two captive
screws. Refer to Figure 3-15. Do not remove the blank faceplate if
you are not installing an expansion module in the slot.

If you are installing only one expansion module in the switch,
install the module in slot A. While the module will work in slot
B with slot A empty, the port numbering assignments will
change if you later install a module in slot A. This could affect
VLAN memberships on the switch, and this could require you
to adjust your VLAN configurations.
