Installing SMMi Modules

You can insert the SMMi module at any time, without causing disruption of network services.

You need the following tools and equipment to install the SMMi module:

•

ESD-preventive wrist strap

•

# 1 Phillips screwdriver

•

SMMi module

To install the SMMi:

Locate the top, unnumbered slot of the chassis.

This is where you install the SMMi.

CAUTION

You can install the SMMi in the designated, top (orange) slot of the Alpine 3808 or 3804 chassis
only. SMMi modules do not fit in numbered slots. Forceful insertion can damage the module.

Attach the ESD strap that is provided to your wrist and connect the metal end to the ground
receptacle that is located on the top-right corner of the switch front panel.

Remove the blank faceplate from the slot to make room for the module, if applicable.

NOTE

Any unoccupied module slot in the chassis should have a blank faceplate installed to ensure
satisfactory protection from EMI and to guarantee adequate airflow through the chassis.

Grasp the module by its front panel with one hand, and place your other hand under the edge of the
metal panel.

Check the connectors for dust and packing materials.

CAUTION

To prevent ESD damage, handle the module by the metal panel edges only. Never touch the
components on the printed circuit board (PCB) or pins on any of the connectors.

Ensure that the SMMi is horizontal as shown in Figure 74, with the:

•

Module name to the right

•

PCB on top

•

Ejector/injector levers extended

Slide the module into the top slot of the chassis, until it makes contact with the backplane.
