Prerequisites

Tools

• Protective gloves
• Electrostatic discharge (ESD) gloves
• Phillips screwdriver (PH3 is 8 mm or 0.31 in.)

Workflow

Figure 3-1 Installation process

Procedure

1. Install the chassis.
2. Determine the position for installing the CX310 in the chassis. Figure 3-2 shows the slot numbers.
   Figure 3-2 Slot numbers
   

3. Remove the switch module filler panel.
   1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the two M3 captive screws on the switch module filler panel. See (1) in Figure 3-3.
      Figure 3-3 Removing the switch module filler panel
      
   2. Raise the two ejector levers on the switch module filler panel completely, and pull the filler panel horizontally out of the chassis. See (2) and (3) in Figure 3-3.
   3. Store the switch module filler panel for future use.

4. Install the CX310.
   1. Raise the two ejector levers on the CX310 completely and push the CX310 horizontally into the chassis as far as it will go. See (1) and (2) in Figure 3-4.

   2. Lower the two ejector levers on the CX310 until the CX310 is completely inserted. See (3) in Figure 3-4.
   3. Use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten the two M3 captive screws on the CX310. See (4) in Figure 3-4.

5. Determine the connection relationships between signal cables and ports.

   3	10GE optical port	-	-

6. (Optional) Connect a serial cable.
   Figure 3-6 Connecting a serial cable
   

   The BMC serial port and SYS serial port are standard RJ45 ports and are connected in the same way.

7. Connect an optical module and cable.
   1. Determine the optical module type and the optical port to be connected depending on site requirements.
   2. Insert the optical module into the optical port until the optical module is locked, as shown in Figure 3-7.

   3. Remove the dust-proof caps from the optical cable. See (1) in Figure 3-8.

   4. Insert the optical cable into the optical module. See (2) in Figure 3-8.

8. Check the indicator status after the CX310 is powered on. See Table 2-4.
9. Configure the CX310. See Configuring the CX310.
