If you purchased a second Chassis Monitoring Module, use the following procedures to remove the CMM filler panel and install a second Chassis Monitoring Module into slot CMM1.

Caution

If you did not purchase a second Chassis Monitoring Module, do not remove the CMM filler panel from slot CMM1. The CMM filler panel is required to meet FCC standards for EMI.

Note

For additional information regarding network management benefits that a second Chassis Monitoring Module provides, see Configuring the Sun Blade 8000 Management Network.

Remove CMM Filler Panel

  1. In the rear of the chassis, locate the CMM filler panel to be removed.

    Note that both CMM filler panel ejector levers are in the closed position.

  2. Holding both ejector levers at the same time, open and unlatch the ejector levers by extending them outward.

    If necessary, see About Chassis Ejector Levers for additional information.

  3. Holding the opened ejector levers, pull the CMM filler panel toward you until it has been fully removed from the chassis slot.

Install Second CMM

  1. Unpack the CMM from the packaging (box labeled CMM), then locate the vacant CMM1 slot in the back of the chassis.

    Note

    For future reference, you may want to record the MAC address of the CMM module prior to installing it in the chassis.

  2. Align the CMM with the slot labeled CMM1. Ensure that the CMM's RJ-45 port connectors are facing toward you and that the CMM ejector levers are fully opened. Ensure that the sticker on the top of the unit is facing up.

  3. Slide the CMM into the vacant chassis slot (labeled CMM1) until the ejector levers engage and start to close.

    Failure to align the CMM correctly can result in damage with the CMM's internal connections to the chassis midplane.

  4. Complete the installation by closing the ejector levers and ensuring that the latches are completely snapped closed. If necessary, see About Chassis Ejector Levers for additional information.

    The CMM is secured into the chassis.
