Installing a Link Module or Port Module
Installing a Link Module or Port Module
This subsection describes how to install link and port modules in an AWAN access
server.
Planning the Installation
Before installing a link or port module, keep in mind the following
hardware-configuration requirements:
•
The link module slot 1–which is the left-most slot when you face the rear panel,
farthest from the power supply– must contain a 10BaseT Link Module. All other
link module slots must be empty.
•
Port Module slot 1 must contain a port module.
•
For 3884 models, Slot 1 is at the left when you face the rear panel, farthest from
the power supply.
•
For 3885 models, Slot 1 is at the upper left when you face the rear panel.
When you replace a port module, install the replacement module into the same slot.
Otherwise, you will have to perform a factory reset. See Module Installation Steps
for
replacing a module.
Figure 1-12
on page 1-13 is an example of a correct hardware configuration.
Module Installation Steps
Module installation involves removing the cover-plate over the module opening at the
rear of the AWAN access server and installing the module in the chassis. Modules are
installed by lining up the module into the module guides at each side of the slot, pushing
the module into the chassis, and tightening the screw locks. The connector at the rear is
self-aligning.
To install a module, perform the following steps:
1. Verify that all power is disconnected and that you are properly grounded. Modules
contain electrostatic-sensitive devices. Modules are not hot-swappable.
2. Remove the cover plate from the module slot. Cover plates are held in place on the
chassis by two captive screws. There is one screw on either side of the cover plate.
Cover plates are easily removed by loosening these two screws and removing the
cover plate.
3. With the cover plate removed, line up each side of the module with the module
guides on each side of the slot.
Note. The information in this subsection applies to models 3884, 3884R, 3885, and 3885R
only. If you purchased a model 3883-8, 3883-8R, 3883-16, or 3883-16R, proceed to Installing
an AWAN Access Server on page 2-9.
Note. The following procedures apply to all link module and port module installations.
