Installing a switch module or pass-through card
Follow the steps below to install a switch module or pass-through card. A switch module or
pass-through card can be installed or removed even if the blade enclosure is powered on (switch
modules/pass-through cards in other slots are working). This section provides an example of
installation. Follow the same steps for installation on other slots.
Depending on the switch module/pass-through card type, a different operation may be required
and/or different steps may be taken. In this case, descriptions in the User's Guide of the switch
module/pass-through card should be used instead.
Make sure to follow the instructions and notes to use the blade enclosure and other
devices safely. There is a risk of death or serious injury. For more information, see
the descriptions on page 3.
●Do not install/remove two or more switch modules/pass-through cards at the same
time.
●Do not place your hands inside the blade enclosure.
Important
Do not remove the blade enclosure from the rack to install a CPU blade, switch
module, pass-through card, or other optional device.
1. See "Installing a switch module or pass-through card" on page 31 to check the slot where the
switch module/pass-through card will be installed.
2. If the slot where you wish to install the switch module/pass-through card has a slot cover, pull
the ejector located at the upper part of the slot cover and remove the cover. In addition, when you
install a double-wide switch module / pass-through card, remove the support stay.
For safety reasons, removal of the support stay should be done only by sales maintenance
personnel. Contact your sales maintenance personnel for the removal of the support stay.
Important
● Keep the slot cover that has been removed in a safe place.
● Do not remove any slot covers and support stays other than the ones attached to
the slot where you wish to install the switch module/pass-through card.
