Chapter 1 Introduction The 9G421-02/9G429-02 (Figure 1-1) is a Gigabit Ethernet interface module, occupying a single slot in the SmartSwitch 9000 chassis. Gigabit Ethernet networks are connected to the 9G421-02/9G429-02 through front panel ports. These ports interface with the switch through Gigabit Network Interface Blocks (GNIB) and are based upon an ASIC architecture. The module connects to the Internal Network Bus (INB) B, providing a high speed backplane for communication amon

Installation Physical Layout The 9G421-02/9G429-02 has two major circuit boards on which components are attached (see Figure 2-1). The base-level circuit board is known as the motherboard and the second-level circuit board is known as the daughterboard. The removable daughterboard attaches to the motherboard with connectors and standoffs. Both the motherboard and the daughterboard contain components accessible to the user.

Installation Table 2-1. Function of DIP Switch Switch Function Description When toggled, this switch clears user-entered Clear passwords stored in NVRAM, and restores the 8 1 Password default passwords. Once the passwords are reset, you can use the defaults or enter new passwords. The module uses NVRAM to store user- entered parameters such as IP addresses, device name, etc. To reset these parameters to the factory defaults, Clear 7 toggle this switch. Once reset, you can u

Installation Removing the Daughterboard from the Motherboard Perform the following steps to remove the daughterboard: 1. Place the module (component side up) on a non-conductive, ßat surface with the front (faceplate) to the left. The daughterboard abuts the backplane connectors (see Figure 2-1). 2. Locate the nine screws as shown in Figure 2-3. Securing Screws Figure 2-3. Daughterboard Attached to the 9G421-02/9G429-02 2-5
