You must install your HP PCIe telephony cards on the SBM before you install

the module into the switch. For instructions, please see the PCIe Analog Card

Installation Precautions

 Static electricity can severely damage the electronic components on the

module. When handling and installing the module, follow these proce-

dures to avoid damage from static electricity:

• Handle the module by its bulkhead or edges and avoid touching the

components and the circuitry on the board.

• When installing the module, equalize any static charge difference

between your body and the switch by wearing a grounding wrist

strap and attaching it to the switch’s metal body, or by frequently

touching the switch’s metal body.

 The module has “low-force,” high-performance connectors. High inser-

tion forces are not necessary to install the module, and should not be

used.

 Ensure the module is fully inserted. Press the module into the slot

until the bulkhead on the module contacts or is very close to contacting

the front face of the switch chassis.

 Once the module is fully inserted, screw in the four retaining screws to

secure the module in place.

 For safe operation, proper switch cooling, and reduction of electromag-

netic emissions, ensure that a slot cover is installed on any unused

module slot. For safety, no more than one slot should be uncovered at a

time, even temporarily, when the switch is powered on.

 Check the temperature specifications for the module; different modules

have different temperature requirements.
