Installing Module into a Matrix E7 or Matrix N7 Chassis
3-10 Installation
Example 5 (Figure 3-5, E)
Shows a chassis populated with 4xxxxx and 7xxxxx modules. DO NOT install 4xxxxx and
7xxxxx modules in the same chassis. In a 4xxxxx system, the chassis must be dedicated to
DFE-Gold modules only.
Rule: In a 4xxxxx system, the chassis must be populated with only 4xxxxx modules to
operate.
Installing Module into a Matrix E7 or Matrix N7 Chassis
To install a DFE-Gold module into a Matrix E7 or Matrix N7 chassis, proceed directly to
“Preparation” on page 3-10 to start the installation process.
Preparation
1. Remove the blank panel covering the slot in which the module will be installed. All
other slots must remain covered to ensure proper airflow for cooling. (Save the blank
plate in the event you need to remove the module.)
2. Remove the module from the shipping box. (Save the box and packing materials in
the event the module needs to be reshipped.)
3. Locate the antistatic wrist strap shipped with the chassis. Attach the antistatic wrist
strap to your wrist and plug the cable from the antistatic wrist strap into the ESD
grounding receptacle at the upper right corner of the chassis.
4. Remove the module from the plastic bag. (Save the bag in the event the module must
be reshipped.) Observe all precautions to prevent damage from Electrostatic
Discharge (ESD).
5. Examine the module for damage. If any damage exists, DO NOT install the module.
Immediately contact Enterasys Networks. Refer to “Getting Help” on page 1-10.
Installation
To install the module, refer to Figure 3-6 and proceed as follows:
Caution: Failure to observe static safety precautions could cause damage to the
DFE-Gold module. Follow static safety handling rules and wear the antistatic wrist strap.
Do not cut the non-conductive bag to remove the module. Sharp objects contacting the
board or components can cause damage.
Caution: To prevent damaging the backplane connectors in the following step, take care
that the module slides in straight and properly engages the backplane connectors.
Ensure that the top lever lines up with the desired slot number located on the front panel of
the chassis.
