Installation Procedure

Before you begin:

Unpack the expansion module.

In an anti-static environment, remove the expansion module from its packing
material. Be sure to observe ESD precautions.

Caution Failure to observe proper anti-static procedures may damage the
unit. If you are unsure about correct procedures, contact your authorised
Allied Telesis distributor or reseller.

Verify the package contents if you have not already done so.

See

“Package Contents” on page 4

. If any items are damaged or missing,

contact your authorised Allied Telesis distributor or reseller.

Read the safety information for the switch.

Safety information is available in the Installation and Safety Guide that is
shipped with each AT-9900s Series switch. You can also download this
document from

.

Gather necessary tools.

You may need a Phillips #2 screwdriver to adjust the retaining screws on a
blank faceplate.

Procedure

If you want to swap expansion modules, first save your configuration file as
necessary (create config and set config commands).

1.

If connected, disconnect the switch from its redundant power supply.

2.

Disconnect the switch from its AC or DC power supply.

3.

If you are replacing an existing expansion module, disconnect any data
cables.

4.

Loosen the thumbscrews to the faceplate or existing expansion module,
and remove it.

Keep the faceplate for future use. If you remove the expansion module,
cover the bay with the faceplate to prevent dust and debris from entering it
and to maintain proper airflow.

Carefully slide the module into the empty bay until you feel it engage the
rear plug.

6.

Secure the module by tightening the thumbscrews.
