Installing Optional Network Expansion Module
A Phillips screwdriver is required to install an optional network expansion module into
the 4H4282‐49, 4H4283‐49, or 4H4284‐49.
Refer to your release notes or the Enterasys Networks web site for the latest available
network expansion modules.
Installing a NEM involves
• removing the coverplate from the DFE‐Gold module (4H4282‐49, 4H4283‐49, or
4H4284‐49),
• installing the NEM, and
• replacing the coverplate.
DFE Module Placement and Installation Rules
The DFE‐Gold module can be installed in a Matrix E7 (refer to Figure 3‐1 on page 3‐4) for
placement rules), Matrix N1, Matrix N3, Matrix N5, or Matrix N7 chassis.
The Matrix N1, Matrix N3, Matrix N5, or Matrix N7 chassis support only DFE modules
and there are no particular rules for installing modules.
Note: Install any optional equipment before proceeding to the section, “DFE Module
Placement and Installation Rules,” on page 3-3 for an explanation of the rules to install
different series modules in a Matrix E7 chassis.
Note: It is important to follow the Module Placement and Rules to ensure proper operation.
Caution: Regardless of which chassis is used, the chassis system must be dedicated to
DFE-Gold modules (4xxxxx) only. Do not insert 7xxxxx modules or other legacy modules
into the same chassis with 4xxxxx modules as this will render the chassis inoperable.
Precaución: Cualquiera que sea el chasis que utilice, recuerde que el sistema debe
aplicarse exclusivamente a los módulos DFE (Distributed Forwarding Engine) de la serie
Gold (4xxxxx). No inserte módulos 7xxxxx ni otros módulos legado dentro de un chasis
con módulos 4xxxxx. Si lo hace, el chasis no funcionará.
