Catalyst 6500 Series 24-Port FXS Analog Interface Module Installation Note

Installing the 24-Port FXS Analog Interface Module
Step 7 If the slot is to remain empty, install a module filler plate (part number 800-00292-01) to keep dust out
of the chassis, to maintain proper airflow through the module compartment, and to prevent exposure to
hazardous voltages and current.
Warning
Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to
hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI)
that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not
operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place.
Caution Before connecting system power or turning on the switch, ensure that the system is connected to a
supplementary ground. For complete instructions on connecting the supplementary ground, refer to the
Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Installation Guide publication.
Installing Modules
Follow these steps to install the 24-port FXS analog interface module:
Step 1 Connect an ASCII terminal or a PC running terminal emulation software to the console port on the
supervisor engine.
Step 2 Choose a slot for the new FXS analog interface module. Ensure that you have enough clearance to
accommodate any interface equipment that you will connect directly to the module ports. If possible,
place modules between empty slots that contain only module filler plates.
Step 3 Remove the module from its antistatic packaging.
Step 4 Guide the module into the slot, aligning the sides of the module with the guides in the slot (see Figure 4).
Avoid touching the components on the board.
