ATTENTION A filler panel should be removed only when being replaced with a port, application, or encryption blade or a new filler panel.
For the PowerConnect B-DCX-4S, slots are numbered from 1 through 8, from bottom to top when facing the port side. Port, application, and encryption blades can be installed in slots 1-2 and 7-8. For the PowerConnect B-DCX and PowerConnect B-48000, slots are numbered from left to right when facing the port side of the chassis. Port blades can be installed in slots 1 through 4 and 9 through 12 in the PowerConnect B-DCX and in slots 1 through 4 and 7 through 10 in the PowerConnect B-48000.
Figure 16 illustrates how to remove or replace a sample blade with ejectors and slider switches. Removing a blade ATTENTION The instructions below refer to the top and bottom of each blade in the vertical orientation as used in the PowerConnect B-DCX and the PowerConnect B-48000. For the PowerConnect B-DCX-4S, because the blades are horizontally oriented, top should be read as left and bottom should be read as right. ATTENTION Follow ESD precautions (“ESD precautions”). 1.

ATTENTION Follow ESD precautions (“ESD precautions”). 1. Ensure that all packing material and safety appliances have been removed from the blade. 2. Orient the blade so that the ports are at the front of the chassis and the flat side of the blade is on the left. 3. For blades with ejectors only, adjust the ejectors to the open position, align the flat side of the blade inside the upper and lower rail guides in the slot, and slide the blade into the slot until it is firmly seated (Figure 14).
