Installing an Expansion Module

Caution

Before installing an expansion module, refer to the PDF document titled “Translated Safety Statements V2” (613-000990) located on the Allied Telesis website at www.alliedtelesis.com, for electrical safety and emission information.

This section describes how to install an optional expansion module. To install an expansion module, follow these steps:

1. Unpack the module from its shipping container and store the packaging material in a safe location.

Note

You must use the original shipping material if you need to return the module to Allied Telesis.

2. Check that the module package includes all the items listed in section Package Contents. If any item is missing or damaged, contact your Allied Telesis sales representative for assistance.

3. Select a switch where you will install the expansion module.

4. Face the front panel of the switch and locate the expansion slots (left side of switch).

5. To remove an expansion slot faceplate, using a Phillips screwdriver, carefully loosen the installation screws found on the left and right sides of the faceplate, as displayed below. An expansion module can be installed in either expansion slot.

Caution

Be sure to observe all standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions, such as wearing an antistatic wrist strap, to avoid damaging the device. If removing an expansion module, store the module in an antistatic bag or immediately install it in another switch. An expansion module can be damaged by static electricity.

6. Remove the faceplate from the slot.

Keep the faceplate in a safe area in case you need to install it in the slot again. The faceplate will keep any dust from getting into the switch and will maintain proper airflow if the slot remains empty.

7. Carefully slide the expansion module into the slot until the expansion module faceplate makes contact with the switch, as displayed below. Avoid touching the expansion module components.
