Install an I/O Module

1. If you are replacing a I/O module, remove the faulty component first, then return to this task.

   See Remove an I/O Module.

2. Locate the slot where you will install the I/O module.

   For the I/O module slot locations, see Rear Panel Components.

3. Depress the top of the release lever, and lower the release lever to the fully open position.

   Note -  While the illustrations in this task show the Oracle F2 10 Gb and 40 Gb Ethernet module, all I/O modules are installed in the switch using this same procedure.

4. Align the I/O module to the slot.

   The release lever should be to the lower right.

5. Slide the I/O module into the chassis.
   
6. When the I/O module is almost completely seated in the slot and the release lever begins to rise, press down slightly on the top of the I/O module to ensure that the notch at the end of the release lever catches on to the slot's groove and secures the I/O module.
   
7. Lift the release lever until it locks the I/O module in the slot.
8. Allow the module to power on, then check the operational state indicated by its LEDs.

   See the "I/O Modules Status LEDs" topics in the corresponding I/O Module user guides.

9. Attach I/O cables to the I/O module.

   For specific instructions, refer to the I/O module documentation and see Servicing Data Cables.

10. Determine your next step:

    • If you have installed a replacement I/O module, go to Verify an I/O Module.

    • If you have installed a new I/O module, refer to the Oracle Fabric OS 1.0.2 Administration Guide for configuration instructions for features available to the module.

    • If you installed this I/O module as part of another service task, return to that task.
