R4300 Modules
The R4300 modules are installed by sliding them into their respective bays and seating
the connector. The three bays are of different sizes and shapes, and a module cannot
be accidentally inserted into the wrong bay. All modules are hot-swappable, and can be
replaced without affecting any existing switching configurations within the chassis. A
small label on each module indicates its position in the R4300, as shown in Figure 18.
The first three characters of the module’s serial number, shown on the back apron and
visible when the module is installed in its bay, are the same as the module’s
abbreviation. For example, the serial number
XCM12345 identifies a 8 x 8 Connect
Module.
To remove a Connect, Management, or Network module, press down on its green
lever (or levers) until the module is released, and pull the module out of its bay.
NOTE: When hot-swapping modules from an R4300, remove the module and wait for
at least 5 seconds before replacing it.
