Each PowerConnect B-RX Series chassis ships with the required switch fabric modules installed.You must purchase an additional switch fabric element if you want your chassis equipped for redundancy. CAUTION If you do not install a module in a slot, you must leave the slot blank installed in the slot. If you run the PowerConnect B-RX Series chassis with an uncovered slot, the system may overheat. If you are installing a redundant management module, refer to the appropriate configuration guide for your product for information about how the redundant module works, optional software configurations that you can perform, and how to manage the redundancy feature. Before installing a module in the PowerConnect B-RX Series chassis, have the following on hand: • An ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to the ESD connector on the PowerConnect B-RX Series chassis. DANGER For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a 1 meg ohm series resistor. • A large flat-head screwdriver. Follow the steps given below to install a module in the PowerConnect B-RX Series chassis. NOTE The installation instructions for installing modules in the following steps are exactly the same for interface, management, and switch fabric modules. 1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by inserting the plug into the ESD connector on the chassis front. 2. Remove the module from its packaging. 3. With the ejectors in the outward position, insert the module into the appropriate chassis slot and slide the card along the card guide until the ejectors on either side of the module move close to the module front panel. Refer to Figure 8 (four-slot chassis), Figure 9 (eight-slot chassis), and Figure 10 (16-slot chassis). PowerConnect B-RX Series Getting Started Guide 17 53-1001682-03
