Module Installation Procedure

Use the following procedure, for GigaVUE‑HC2 modules, except the GigaSMART Rear module, which is described in Installing the Rear GigaSMART Module.

1.

Make sure you are wearing an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap.

2.

Locate the modules and remove them from their packaging.

3.

Remove the protective filler panels from the target bays for all modules to be installed. Keep the filler panels so they can be easily reused if the module is ever removed. You can install modules in any of the four available front bays on the GigaVUE‑HC2 – the order is not important.

Note:  To prevent any improper air flow and overheating the node, do not leave any bays uncovered.

4.

Pull out the dark blue lever on the left top of the module. Carefully slide the module into the bay. Push the lever back in and tighten using the thumb screw on the lever..

Installing Modules

5.

Install any additional modules by repeating the previous two steps.

Note:  The first time you install a module in the node, you need to configure the node to recognize it with the card command and save your changes with write memory. Refer to Configure Modules and Enable Ports for details.

This completes the installation of the modules on the front of the GigaVUE‑HC2.
