Unpacking and
Installing the Module
This chapter describes the precautionary, unpacking, and installation
procedures for the ONline Ethernet Management Module (EMM). It also
describes the module's front panel LEDs, Reset Button, and RS-232 serial
port connector. After you install the module, follow the steps in Chapter 3
to configure the module for proper operation.
Precautionary Procedures
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage the static-sensitive devices on
circuit boards. To avoid this kind of damage, use the following precautions
when handling the EMM:
❑ Do not remove the board from its anti-static shielding bag until you
are ready to insert it into the concentrator.
❑ Use proper grounding techniques when inspecting and installing the
EMM. These techniques include using a foot strap and grounded mat
or wearing a grounded static discharge wrist strap. An alternate
method is to touch a grounded rack or other source of ground before
you handle the EMM.
