ESD Safety Information
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage components of the module.
ESD, which occurs when a module is improperly handled, can cause
complete or intermittent failures.
CAUTION: To prevent ESD-related damage:
■
Always wear an ESD wrist strap (not provided) when you handle a
module, ensuring that the strap makes good skin contact and is
properly grounded.
■
Keep the module in its antistatic bag until you are ready to install it.
Handling Precautions When you handle a module, follow these precautions:
■
■
■
Always handle the module by the front panel only.
Do not touch the components, pins, leads, or solder connections.
Do not twist or otherwise force the module into the chassis when you
insert it into the module guides.
■
■
Before you push the module into the chassis, verify that the module
ejector handles are open.
When you slide the module into the 7-slot chassis, match the left and

10-Port 100BASE-FX and 20-Port 10/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet Layer 2 Switching Modules Quick Start Guide
Installing the Module To install a FEN Switching Module:
1 Before you start the installation process, read and follow the instructions
in “Safety Precautions,” “Handling Precautions,” and “Installation
Prerequisites” earlier in this guide.
2 Select a chassis slot for your module, following the restrictions and
recommendations in “Module Placement in the Chassis” earlier in this
guide.
3 To expose a slot for the module, remove the blank faceplate.
Save this faceplate in case you need it in the future. Empty slots must be
covered to ensure proper airflow and cooling in the chassis.
3Com recommends that you remove the faceplate only for the slot where
you intend to install an individual module; leave the remaining faceplates
in the chassis.
4 Open the module ejector handles.
5 Begin to insert the module:
■
In the 7-slot chassis, hold the module horizontally with the LEDs to the
the right of the slot. Figure 2 shows the module position in a 7-slot
chassis.
■
In the 8-slot chassis and 16-slot chassis, hold the module vertically
with the LEDs at the top and begin to insert the module using the
guides on the top and the bottom of the slot. Figure 3 shows the
module position in a 16-slot chassis. The module position is the same
in an 8-slot chassis.
CAUTION: Do not twist or bend the module when you insert it.
6 Slide the module into the chassis by pushing firmly on the two ends of
the front panel near the ejector handles.
WARNING: Hazardous energy exists inside the chassis. Do not place
hands or objects into the chassis or touch any components on an inserted
module.

7 To engage the module with the backplane, use both hands to perform
the following steps:
a Push firmly at the two ends of the front panel near the ejector handles
until you feel the module connectors make firm contact with the
backplane connectors.
b Put your left thumb on the left or top ejector handle and your right
thumb on the right or bottom ejector handle. Simultaneously, push
the ejector handles in towards the front panel until each handle is
parallel with the front panel.
You feel a slight resistance as the connectors fully engage.
CAUTION: If there is too much resistance when you try to close the
ejector handles, the module backplane connector may not be aligned.
Forcing the module into place can damage the module connectors and
backplane connectors. If necessary, remove and reinsert the module,
ensuring that the connectors are properly aligned. Do not tighten the
spring-loaded screws to seat the module.
8 To secure the module in the chassis, tighten the spring-loaded screws to a
torque specification of 3 to 5 inch-pounds.
CAUTION: Verify that the module screws are properly aligned with the
threaded holes in the chassis. If the screws are not aligned when you
tighten them, you may strip the threads and make it impossible to secure
the module.
To ensure that you tighten screws to torque specification, use a torque
screwdriver.
WARNING: To ensure adequate cooling airflow and continued product
safety agency compliance, install blank faceplates over all empty slots.
If the chassis is powered on, the module initialization process begins.

1 Log in to the EME.
For information about how to log in to the EME, see the CoreBuilder
9000 Enterprise Management Engine User Guide.
2 At the EME prompt, enter:
connect <slot>.1
where <slot> is the chassis slot number of the module that you want to
manage, and the number after the decimal point is a subslot number,
which is always 1.
The top level of the Administration Console menu for the module
appears.
3 Enter command strings to manage the module. For example, to display a
module baseline, enter:
module baseline display
For information about the Administration Console module commands,
see the Command Reference Guide.
