About this Guide  
Optional expansion modules (XEMs) enable economical combinations of port  
type, speed and density in a single switch. Front bays in the switch allow quick  
and easy installation.  
This Installation Guide describes how to install the following XEMs:  
XEM-1XP, a single XFP port for high-speed fibre connections  
XEM-2XP, a dual 10 GbE XFP port expansion module for high-speed fibre  
connections  
XEM-2XS, a dual 10 GbE SFP+ port expansion module for high-speed fibre  
and SFP+ Direct Attach copper connections  
XEM-12S, 12 SFP ports for copper and fibre links  
XEM-12Sv2, 12 SFP ports for copper and fibre links  
XEM-12T, 12 x 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 ports  
XEM-12Tv2, 12 x 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 ports  
XEM-2XT, a dual 10 GbE RJ-45 port expansion module for high-speed  
copper connections  
XEM-24T, 24 x RJ Point Five ports for high density cabling solutions  
XEM-STK, dual stacking ports for scalability and high availability

The Select button resets the stack ID of this switch to 1, and causes the other  
members of the stack to be renumbered. Use this to put the stack into a pre-  
defined configuration for ease of installation.  
Note You should install only one XEM-STK expansion module in a switch. If  
you install more than one, only the first expansion module is enabled.  
Caution Allied Telesis recommends waiting 30 seconds after hot swapping  
any XEM before resuming normal operations. The switch must fully complete  
the bootup process before you can hot swap any XEM. Also ensure the XEM  
fastening thumbscrews are fully tightened. If you are unsure about correct  
procedures, contact your authorised Allied Telesis distributor or reseller.

Expansion Modules  
Installation Procedure  
The installation procedure and XEMs supported by each switch depend on the  
operating system running on the switch.  
AlliedWare Plus™ Operating System  
Switches running the AlliedWare Plus™ operating system support all XEMs. All  
XEMs except the XEM-STK are hot-swappable and can be installed following  
either of these procedures:  
“Installing or replacing XEMs without hot swap support” on page 27  
“Installing or replacing XEMs with hot swap support” on page 28  
The XEM-STK is hot-removable only. To remove the XEM-STK, disconnect the  
stacking cables, loosen the thumbscrews on the faceplate and remove the XEM.  
To install or replace the XEM-STK, follow the procedure “Installing or replacing  
XEMs without hot swap support” on page 27.  
AlliedWare® Operating System  
Switches running the AlliedWare® operating system support all XEMs except  
the XEM-STK and the XEM-2XP. XEMs are not hot-swappable under the  
AlliedWare® operating system and must be installed following the procedure  
“Installing or replacing XEMs without hot swap support” on page 27.  
Before you begin  
Unpack the XEM.  
In an anti-static environment, remove the XEM from its packing material. Be  
sure to observe ESD precautions.  
Caution Failure to observe proper anti-static procedures may damage the  
unit. If you are unsure about correct procedures, contact your authorised  
Allied Telesis distributor or reseller.  
Verify the package contents if you have not already done so.  
See “Package Contents” on page 6. If any items are damaged or missing,  
contact your authorised Allied Telesis distributor or reseller.  
Read the safety information for the switch.  
Safety information is available in the Installation and Safety Guide that is  
shipped with each switch. You can also download this document from

Installation Guide  
Gather necessary tools.  
You may need a Phillips #2 screwdriver to adjust the thumbscrews on the XEM.  
Installing or replacing XEMs without hot swap support  
Follow this procedure to:  
install a XEM, except the XEM-STK, in a switch running the AlliedWare®  
operating system  
install a XEM-STK in a switch running the AlliedWare Plus™ operating  
system  
install a XEM without hot swapping in a switch running the  
AlliedWare Plus™ operating system  
To install or replace a XEM:  
1. If you are replacing a XEM, first save the switch configuration.  
On switches running the AlliedWare® operating system, use the  
commands:  
create config=<filename>.cfg  
set config=<filename>.cfg  
On switches running the AlliedWare Plus™ operating system, use the  
commands:  
awplus>enable  
awplus#copy running-config startup-config  
2. If connected, disconnect the switch from its redundant power supply.  
3. Disconnect the switch from its AC or DC power supply.  
4. If you are replacing an existing XEM, disconnect any data cables.  
5. Loosen the thumbscrews on the faceplate or existing XEM, and remove it.  
Keep the faceplate for future use. If you remove a XEM, cover the bay with  
the faceplate to prevent dust and debris from entering it and to maintain  
proper airflow.  
6. Carefully slide the new XEM into the empty bay until you feel it engage the  
rear plug.  
7. Secure the XEM by tightening the thumbscrews.  
8. Apply power to the switch by re-attaching the power cord.  
9. If you disconnected a redundant power supply, reconnect it.

Installing or replacing XEMs with hot swap support  
Caution It is recommended that you should wait 30 seconds between hot  
swapping any XEM to resume normal operations. Also ensure the XEM  
fastening thumbscrews are fully tightened. If you are unsure about correct  
procedures, contact your authorised Allied Telesis distributor or reseller.  
Follow this procedure to hot swap a XEM in a switch running the  
AlliedWare Plus™ operating system. Note that the XEM-STK cannot be hot  
swapped.  
1. If you are replacing a XEM, first save the switch configuration, by using the  
commands:  
awplus>enable  
awplus#copy running-config startup-config  
2. If you are replacing an existing XEM, disconnect any data cables.  
3. Loosen the thumbscrews on the faceplate or existing XEM, and remove it.  
Keep the faceplate for future use. If you remove a XEM, cover the bay with  
the faceplate to prevent dust and debris from entering it and to maintain  
proper airflow.  
4. Carefully slide the new XEM into the empty bay until you feel it engage the  
rear plug.  
5. Secure the XEM by tightening the thumbscrews.
