Installing MMAC-Plus Interface Modules
MMAC-Plus Interface Modules can be installed in any of the 14 slots that are
available. To install Interface Modules, follow the steps below:
1. Remove the blank panel, covering the slot in which the Interface Module will
be installed. All other slots must remain covered to ensure proper airflow and
cooling.
2. Unpack the Interface Module by carefully removing it from the shipping box.
(Save the box and packing materials in the event the module must be
reshipped.)
3. Remove the Interface Module from the plastic bag. (Save the bag in the event
the Interface Module must be reshipped.) Observe all precautions to prevent
damage from Electrostatic Discharge (ESD).
4. Examine the Interface Module, carefully checking for damage. If any damage
exists, DO NOT install the Interface Module. Immediately contact Cabletron
Systems Technical Support.
5. Install the Interface Module in the chassis by sliding it in any available slot
and locking down the top and bottom plastic tabs, as shown in Figure 6. Take
care that the Interface Module slides in straight and properly engages the
backplane connectors. When installing the Interface Module, ensure that the
circuit card is between the card guides, as shown in Figure 6. Check both the
upper and lower tracks.
6. If you are installing additional Interface Modules, repeat steps 1–5.
