Installation guide

Installing the Module into the 5C105 Chassis
Installation 3-9
To install a module, refer to Figure 3-6 and proceed as follows:
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 and cooling. (Save the blank plate in the event you
need to remove the module.)
2. Carefully remove the module from the shipping box. (Save the box and packing materials in the
event the module must be reshipped.)
3. Locate the antistatic wrist strap shipped with the module. 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” in About This Guide.
6. Locate the slot guides that line up with the number of the slot in which the module will be
installed. Install the module in the chassis by aligning the module circuit card between the upper
and lower metal rail guides of the desired slot, sliding it into the chassis, and locking down the
top and bottom plastic locking tabs, as shown in Figure 3-6. Take care that the module slides in
straight and properly engages the backplane connectors.
7. If the chassis in which the module is installed was powered down for the installation, turn it back
on. Check to see that the CPU LED settles at solid green after a few minutes. If the LED does
not turn solid green, see Chapter 4 for details.
NOTE: Although the 5G106-06 is shown in Figure 3-6, this procedure applies to both
the 5G102-06 or 5G106-06 modules.
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 plastic locking tab lines up with the desired slot number located on
the front panel of the chassis. Refer to Figure 3-6.
