Installing management and interface modules
2
CAUTION
If you do not install a module in a slot, you must leave the slot panel installed in the slot. If you
operate the chassis with an uncovered empty slot, the system will overheat.
Before installing a module in the chassis, have the following on hand:
• A # Phillips-head or flathead screwdriver.
• An ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to the ESD connector on the chassis.
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megohm resistor.
To install a module in the chassis, complete the following tasks.
NOTE
You do not need to power down FSX 800 and FSX 1600 devices when installing management
modules. You can install modules in the FSX 800 and FSX 1600 chassis while it is powered on and
running.
1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by inserting the plug into the ESD connector
located on the chassis front panel.
2. Remove the module from the packaging.
3. Insert the management module or interface module into the appropriate slot and slide the
card along the card guide until the ejector levers rotate towards the module front panel.
NOTE
If you are installing SX-FI48GPP POE+ interface modules, refer to Table 19 for the slot numbers
where these modules may be installed. Each module occupies the equivalent of two slots, so
plan your installation accordingly. Refer to Figure 33 on page 50 and Figure 34 on page 50.
4. Fold the ejectors towards the center of the module to fully seat the module in the backplane.
5. Use the #2 Phillips-head or flathead screwdriver to tighten the screws on each side of the
module faceplate.

Series device.
