5. Remove the appropriate uplink bay face-plate on the switch unit’s front panel
AR800 Series Modular Switching Routers, Rapier, Rapier i and AT-8700XL
Switches have two uplink module expansion bays. If this is the first Uplink
Module to be installed, it should be installed in the top bay (to simplify
VLAN configuration). Remove the face-plate as shown in Figure 1.
Keep the face-plate for future use. If you should remove the Uplink Module, replace the
face-plate to prevent dust and debris from entering the switch unit and to maintain
proper airflow.

6. Prepare the Uplink Module
In an antistatic environment, remove the Uplink Module from its packing
material. Be sure to observe ESD precautions.
Do not attempt to install an Uplink Module or any other expansion option
without observing correct antistatic procedures. Failure to do so may damage
the switch unit or Uplink Module. If you are unsure what the correct procedures
are, contact your authorised Allied Telesis distributor or reseller.
7. Slide the Uplink Module into place
Make sure the module is aligned with the card guides on each side of the
bay (see Figure 2).
