Installing an AT-A65 Expansion Module
You can insert or remove a module while the switch is powered on. The Fault LED
will flash 7 times. You must restart the switch to turn off the flashing LED and make
a module ready for operation.
1. Read the safety information.
For safety information, see the AT-8600 Series Installation and Safety Guide. A copy
of this guide is supplied with each switch, and can also be downloaded from
www.alliedtelesis.com/support/ .
2. Gather the tools and equipment you will need.
You will need a screwdriver. You should also have any cables required for
connecting the expansion module to other network devices.
3. Remove the appropriate face-plate or current expansion module on
the switch’s front panel.
Use a screwdriver to loosen the captive screws on the face-plate or expansion
module. When removing an expansion module make sure that when you slide
the module out that it remains aligned with the card guides, as shown in the
figure on the following page.
If no expansion modules are currently installed, then install the AT-A65 into the
switch's left bay. This simplifies VLAN configuration.
If you have removed a face-plate, keep it for future use. If you later remove the
expansion module, replace the face-plate to prevent dust and debris from
entering the switch and to maintain proper airflow.
