The following instructions describe the basic steps required to install the EM. You can install the EM in a powered-on system using a hot-swap procedure, as well as in a powered-off system.
Note - To maintain proper cooling for the EM in your chassis, all ExpressModule slots must be filled with either EMs or filler panels.
![]() | Caution - Failure to align the EM correctly can result in damage to the EM’s internal connection to the chassis midplane. |
![]() | Caution - Do not use excessive force when installing the EM. You might damage the EM’s connector. If the EM does not seat properly when you apply even pressure, remove and carefully reinstall the EM. |
