Installing an M10i CFEB or CFEB-E

To install a CFEB or CFEB-E (see Figure 1):

1. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.
2. Verify that the ends of the ejector levers are pulled outward to a position nearly perpendicular to the faceplate of the CFEB or CFEB-E.
3. Place one hand under the CFEB or CFEB-E to support it and grasp one of the ejector levers at the front with the other hand.
4. Align the rear of the CFEB or CFEB-E with the guides inside the chassis and slide it in completely.
5. Press the ejector lever at each end of the CFEB or CFEB-E inward.
6. Tighten the thumbscrew on each ejector lever (shown in M10i CFEB and CFEB-E LEDs) to seat the CFEB or CFEB-E firmly in the chassis.
7. Press the online/offline button on the CFEB or CFEB-E faceplate and hold it down until the green LED labeled OUTPUT OK lights steadily.

   You can also verify correct CFEB or CFEB-E functioning by issuing the show chassis cfeb commands described in Maintaining the M10i CFEB and CFEB-E.
