Installing a BigIron RX-16 switch
2
Follow the steps given below to install a module in the BigIron RX-16 chassis.
1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by inserting the plug into the ESD connector on
the chassis front.
2. Remove the module from its packaging.
3. With the ejectors in the outward position, insert the module into the appropriate chassis slot
and slide the card along the card guide until the ejectors on either side of the module move
close to the module front panel. Refer to special instructions, “Populating a BigIron RX-16
chassis” on page 50.
NOTE
When inserting the module into the chassis, make sure that the faceplate does not overlap
with the faceplate of an adjacent interface module.
4. Push the ejectors in until they are flush with the module front panel. This action will fully seat
the module in the backplane. Modules have a snug fit for maximum EMI protection.

them clockwise. Then, tighten the screws further using the flat-head screwdriver.
