Installing the Link Module
Complete the steps in this chapter to install the Sync link module in your BLN,
BLN-2, or BCN platform.
Inserting the Link Module
Install the link module in the BLN, BLN-2, or BCN platform as follows:
1. Attach an antistatic wrist strap.
BN platforms and link modules ship with an antistatic wrist strap. You must
wear one of these straps whenever you access components in a platform.
The antistatic wrist strap directs the discharge of static electricity from your
body to the chassis, thereby avoiding discharge and possible damage to
sensitive electronic components.
2. Using the slot card guides, slide the module into the appropriate slot until
the module’s connector panel touches the BN platform’s back panel.
Refer to Figure 1-1 (BLN), 1-2 (BLN-2), or 1-3 (BCN) in Chapter 1 for slot
locations.
3. Secure the captive screw on each end of the module (Figure 2-1).
Figure
2-1 shows the captive screws on a Quad Sync link module; these
screws are the same on all link modules.
Caution: Electrostatic discharge can damage hardware. Always use the
antistatic wrist strap when handling any router components.
