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 special instructions,
“Populating a BigIron RX-16

on page 53.
NOTE
When inserting the module into the chassis, make sure that the faceplate doesnot overlap with
the faceplate of an adjacent interface module.
4.
Push the ejectors in until they are flush with the module front panel. This action will fully seat
the module in the backplane. Modules have a snug fit for maximum EMI protection.

NOTE
The installation instructions for installing modules shown in the following illustrations are
exactly the same for interface, management, and switch fabric modules.
5.
Tighten the two screws at either end of the module front panel by pushing them in and turning
them clockwise. Then, tighten the screws further using the flat-head screwdriver.
Populating a BigIron RX-16 chassis
The sequence for installing more than one card is important to ensure proper fit in the BigIron
RX-16 chassis. Always fill the bottom slots in the BigIron RX-16 first. Begin by filling the slots from
the left side of the chassis, and working your way towards the right. Refer to
“BigIron RX-16
chassis”
on page 4 for slot locations.
NOTE
Any empty slots must contain slot blanks to ensure proper air flow within the chassis.
