CHAPTER 8
ADDING/SWAPPING MODULES AND MAINTENANCE
The ATX configuration may include a total of five interface
modules in various combinations. This means any configuration
that does not use all five interface slots may be expanded by
installing additional interface modules. Install the additional
interface module in any vacant interface slot.
Caution: Observe all Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) precautions before
handling the ATX. Failure to do so could result in damage to the
ATX and other associated components.
8.1 ADDING A MODULE
If the module you are adding is of a different type than the module
that previously occupied that slot, or if the slot was previously
vacant, you have to reboot the ATX so it will recognize the new
module.
If the module you are adding has a different number of ports than
the module you are removing, before you can power cycle the ATX,
you must:
• Delete all static addresses
• Delete all ARP addresses and IP routing table entries
• Delete all filters
Follow these steps to install an additional interface module:
1. If the module is still online, take it offline using the LCM
offline command.
To see if the module is online, check its PROC LED; if the
module is online, the LED will be lit.
2. Remove power from the ATX.
3. Disconnect the module from the network.
