About this Guide
This Installation Guide describes how to install the following expansion modules
in an AT-9900s Series switch:
■ AT-A60, single XFP port
■ AT-A61, 12 SFP ports
■ AT-A62, 12 10/100/1000Mbps RJ-45 ports
You can download the complete document set for AT-9900s Series switches
from www.alliedtelesis.com/support/software. For more information about the
document set and other resources, see “Obtaining Documentation and
Resources” on page 11.
Package Contents
The following items are included with each expansion module:
■ this Installation Guide
■ one warranty card
Contact your authorised Allied Telesis distributor or reseller if items are
damaged or missing.
Overview
Expansion modules enable economical combinations of speed and port density
with the AT-9900s Series of enhanced gigabit layer 3+ expandable switches. Two
front bays in the AT-9900s switch allow quick and easy installation of optional
expansion modules.
For example, add one 10GbE expansion module to provide a single high-speed,
high capacity fibre connection; add a second 10GbE module for redundancy or
as bandwidth needs increase. Add one or two 12-port RJ-45 copper expansion
modules to provide maximum gigabit Ethernet port density in a compact 1RU
chassis. For flexible port options, add one or two 12-port SFP expansion
modules to aggregate copper and fibre links from data centres and enterprise
networks, while providing long haul fibre links.

AT-9900s Series Switch Expansion Module
Installation Procedure
Before you begin:
■ Unpack the expansion module.
In an anti-static environment, remove the expansion module from its packing
material. Be sure to observe ESD precautions.
Caution Failure to observe proper anti-static procedures may damage the
unit. If you are unsure about correct procedures, contact your authorised
Allied Telesis distributor or reseller.
■ Verify the package contents if you have not already done so.
See “Package Contents” on page 4. If any items are damaged or missing,
contact your authorised Allied Telesis distributor or reseller.
■ Read the safety information for the switch.
Safety information is available in the Installation and Safety Guide that is
shipped with each AT-9900s Series switch. You can also download this
document from www.alliedtelesis.com/support/software.
■ Gather necessary tools.
You may need a Phillips #2 screwdriver to adjust the retaining screws on a
blank faceplate.
10
Procedure
If you want to swap expansion modules, first save your configuration file as
necessary (create config and set config commands).
1. If connected, disconnect the switch from its redundant power supply.
2. Disconnect the switch from its AC or DC power supply.
3. If you are replacing an existing expansion module, disconnect any data
cables.
4. Loosen the thumbscrews to the faceplate or existing expansion module,
and remove it.
Keep the faceplate for future use. If you remove the expansion module,
cover the bay with the faceplate to prevent dust and debris from entering it
and to maintain proper airflow.
5. Carefully slide the module into the empty bay until you feel it engage the
rear plug.
6. Secure the module by tightening the thumbscrews.
7. Apply power to the switch by re-attaching the power cord.

Installation Guide
8. If you disconnected a redundant power supply, reconnect it.
9. Restart the switch and verify installation with the show log command to
confirm there is no error message about installation in the log file.
If you are connected to the asyn0 port, any error message is displayed
during startup self-tests.
