Dell PowerConnect J-Series J-EX8216 Ethernet Switch Hardware Guide NOTE: Both fan trays must be installed in the chassis for normal switch operation. Related • Removing a Fan Tray from a J-EX8216 Switch on page 159 Documentation • Cooling System and Airflow in a J-EX8216 Switch on page 44 Installing an RE Module in a J-EX8216 Switch You can install either one or two Routing Engine (RE) modules in a J-EX8216 switch. The RE modules install horizontally in the front of the chassis in the slots labeled RE0 and RE1. See "Slot Numbering for a J-EX8216 Switch" on page 14. NOTE: We recommend that you install two RE modules for redundancy. If you install only one RE module, we recommend that you install it in the slot RE0. CAUTION: Do not lift the RE module by holding the ejector levers. The levers cannot support the weight of the module. Lifting the modules by the levers might bend the levers, and the bent levers will prevent the RE module from being properly seated in the chassis. Before you begin installing an RE module in a J-EX8216 switch: • Ensure you understand how to prevent ESD damage. See "Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge Damage on J-EX Series Switches" on page 230. Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to install an RE module: • Electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap • Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2 To install an RE module in a J-EX8216 switch (see Figure 50 on page 119): 1. Attach the electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist and connect the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis. 2. Taking care not to touch the leads, pins, or solder connections, pull the RE module out from the bag. 3. Pull both the ejector levers outward, away from the faceplate of the RE module, until they go no further. 4. If the slot has a cover panel on it, unscrew the two screws on either side of the cover panel counterclockwise using the Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2. Remove the cover panel. Save the cover panel for later use. 118
