Installing switch modules
Use the following procedure to install a switch module. Switch modules can be installed even while the
Blade Enclosure is powered on.
Observe the following instructions to use the Blade Enclosure safely. Failure to
follow these instructions may result in death or serious personal injury.
See pages 4 to 14 for details.
 Do not install/remove more than one switch module or pass-through card at
the same time.
1. Remove any blank cover from the slot where
the GbE pass-through card is to be installed.
To remove the cover, press and hold the ejector
to the right, and pull the cover out of the slot.
IMPORTANT:
Keep the removed blank cover in a safe place.
2. If installing a double-width switch module,
remove the support stay between the right and
left slots into which the module is to be installed.
IMPORTANT:
Keep the support stay cover in a safe place.
CHECK:
If installing a single-wide switch module, do
not remove the support stay.
To prevent accidentally losing support stays,
only remove support stays for double-width
modules.
(The GbE pass-through card is a single-wide
switch module.)
