The Uplink/Expansion Module slot on supported switches
accommodates a single MDA using the following connectors.

To install an MDA:

1

Unplug the AC power cord from the back of the switch, or
unplug the switch module from the switch backplane.

2

Loosen the thumb screws and remove the filler panel (or
previously installed MDA) from the Uplink/Expansion
Module slot.

3

Insert the MDA into the Uplink/Expansion Module card
guides (

Figure 10

).

Make sure the MDA slides in on the card guides. Failure to
align the MDA to the card guides could damage the pins.
