This section describes how to install an optional expansion module. To install

material in a safe location.
Note
You must use the original shipping material if you need to return the
module to Allied Telesis.
2. Check that the module package includes all the items listed in section
Package Contents. If any item is missing or damaged, contact your Allied
Telesis sales representative for assistance.
3. Select a switch where you will install the expansion module.

of switch).
5. To remove an expansion slot faceplate, using a Phillips screwdriver,
carefully loosen the installation screws found on the left and right sides of
the faceplate, as displayed below. An expansion module can be installed
in either expansion slot.
Caution
Be sure to observe all standard electrostatic discharge (ESD)
precautions, such as wearing an antistatic wrist strap, to avoid
damaging the device. If removing an expansion module, store the
module in an antistatic bag or immediately install it in another switch. An
