Safety
Always follow static electricity and other safety guidelines when handling
EtherSpeedII switch modules.
Installing a Switch Module
You can insert or remove a 10/100BASE-T switch module or a 100BASE-FX
switch module from a chassis while the power is on without interrupting service in
the other modules. This ability is referred to as “hot-swapping.”
Caution: Centillion equipment uses electronic components that are sensitive to
static electricity. Static discharge from your clothing or other fixtures around
you can cause damage. Take all possible precautions to prevent static discharge
damage when working with printed circuit boards.
Place each module on a grounded antistatic mat until you are ready to install
the module. If you do not have an antistatic mat, wear a wrist strap or
discharge leash to free yourself of static before touching any of the modules, or
free yourself of static by touching the metal chassis before handling the module.
Note: EtherSpeedII switch modules can be hot-swapped in and out of a chassis
at any time. However, before removing an active module from the Centillion
50/100 chassis, either unplug all port cables or disable all ports on the module.
This step deactivates the module. For additional information, see “
Removing a
Module” on page 3-8.
