4.5 Installing a Blade
The SDM-9606 blades are installed in slots at the front of the SDM-9600 chassis. Up to 5
blades can be installed. Refer to
Figure 4-5 .
NOTE:
For easier installation and configuration, install all blades required for your
application before you power up and configure the unit. However, blades for
the SDM-9600 chassis are hot-swappable. The chassis does not need to be
powered down to insert another blade at a later time.
To install a blade:
1. Wear an ESD (Electrostatic Sensitive Devices) wrist strap, and attach it to one of the
ground lugs on the SDM-9600 chassis:
• Front ground lug, located beneath the
POWER ON
LED. Refer to Figure 5-1 .
• Rear ground lug, located to the right of the dual power input modules. Refer to
Figure 5-2 .
CAUTION:
Electrostatic charges can damage system components. Always use
an ESD wrist strap when accessing internal components of the unit.
In countries where a two-pin non-grounded power cord must be used, ensure that the
SDM-9600 is independently grounded with a wire from Ground securely attached to
