b.

Slide the cover away from the front of the XP-2000 about 1/2”, then lift it away from the 
XP-2000.

4.

Use the phillips-head screwdriver to remove the four mounting screws in the existing face 
plate or cover plate corresponding to the expansion slot where you plan to install the 
1000BASE-SX or 1000BASE-LX gigabit expansion module. Be sure not to damage or remove 
the conductive tape on the inside of the chassis, both above and below the expansion slot 
opening.

5.

From the inside of the chassis, line up the four holes in the expansion module’s face plate with 
the corresponding holes around the empty expansion slot in the chassis, and use the phillips-
head screwdriver to tighten the screws (from the front) on each side of the expansion module’s 
face plate to affix it to the chassis.

You will probably have to gently push the expansion card’s face plate down while 
lining up the first of the screws. The grounding fingers for the 10/100BASE-TX 
module that sits immediately below the empty expansion slot protrude upwards to 
make contact with the bottom of the face plate.

There are two different types of face plates for the expansion modules. There is a 
regular face place and an EMI extended face plate. Shown below is a picture of the 
EMI extended face plate:
