Installing a Versatile Interface Module or Clock Module in an X460-G2
Series Switch
This section describes how to install a versatile interface module (VIM) or a clock module in the rear slot
of an X460-G2 switch.
Note
Clock module ports are output ports. They are not to be used as input ports.
You need the following tools and materials to install a VIM or clock module:
• ESD-preventive wrist strap
• #1 Phillips screwdriver (for clock module) or
flat-bladed screwdriver (for all other VIM modules)
Caution
Extreme Networks VIMs and clock modules are not hot-swappable. Disconnect power to the
switch before removing an installed VIM or clock module or installing a new VIM or clock
module.
The installation procedure is the same for all X460-G2 VIMs and clock modules, with the exception that
the VIMs use slotted retaining screws and the clock module uses Phillips retaining screws.
To install a versatile interface module or clock module, follow these steps:
1. Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect the metal end to an appropriate
ground point on the rack.
2. Disconnect the switch power.
3. Remove the cover plate from the VIM or clock module slot:
a. Remove the retaining screws at the top corners of the slot cover plate, and set the screws aside
in a safe place.
b. Save the retaining screws to secure the new module in the switch.
