how to install Cisco Catalyst IE3300 Rugged Series Module, 8 Non-PoE Copper

• Power down the Cisco IE3300 chassis and disconnect any external cabling to ensure a safe installation.
• Locate the appropriate expansion slot in the IE3300 enclosure designed to accept the 8-port Non-PoE Copper module, ensuring alignment with the connector interface.
• Carefully insert the module into the slot, applying firm but even pressure until it seats fully. Secure any retaining screws or latches as required by the chassis design.
• Reconnect power and network tie-ins. If the chassis supports hot-swapping for the module, follow the device’s hot-swap procedure; otherwise, allow the chassis to complete its self-check on boot.
• Access the device via console or management interface and verify module presence and port status using commands such as show inventory, show module, or show interfaces status. Confirm that all eight copper ports are recognized and ready for traffic.
