Installing the Module into the Matrix E7 Chassis
Installation 3-3
To install a module, refer to Figure 3-1 and proceed as follows:
1. Remove the blank panel covering the slot in which the module will be installed. All other slots
must remain covered to ensure proper airflow and cooling. (Save the blank plate in the event you
need to remove the module.)
2. Carefully remove the module from the shipping box. (Save the box and packing materials in the
event the module must be reshipped.)
3. Locate the antistatic wrist strap shipped with the module. Attach the antistatic wrist strap to your
wrist and plug the cable from the antistatic wrist strap into the ESD grounding receptacle at the
upper right corner of the Matrix E7.
4. Remove the module from the plastic bag. (Save the bag in the event the module must be
reshipped.) Observe all precautions to prevent damage from Electrostatic Discharge (ESD).
NOTE: The Matrix E7 (third generation modules) can provide backplane connectivity
for the 6x1xx and 6x2xx series (first and second generation modules) in the Matrix E7
chassis. First and second generation boards installed in slots one through five in the
Matrix E7 chassis cannot communicate with slots six and seven unless a third
generation board (6x3xx) is installed in one of the first five slots. This proxy function
provides backplane connectivity for the first or second generation boards to the sixth
and seventh slots.
See the Matrix E7 Overview and Setup Guide for details.
NOTE: Distributed Chassis Management and SecureFast Switching functionality of the
6C105 SmartSwitch 6000 chassis is not supported for any generation of interface
modules installed in a Matrix E7 chassis. Refer to the module release notes for specific
information on supported functionality.
