Ethernet Modules Equipped with a Stiffener Bracket
Some early versions of the WS-X6748-GE-TX Ethernet module have a stiffener bracket mounted across
the top front part of the module. This stiffener bracket requires a modified procedure to install the DFC3
daughter card.
During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card. Do not directly

To install the DFC daughter card on an early version of the WS-X6748-GE-TX Ethernet module that is
equipped with a stiffener bracket, follow these steps:
Attach an ESD grounding strap to your wrist and to ground.
Step 1
If you are unsure about the correct way to attach an ESD grounding strap, refer to

Step 3
Position the DFC3 daughter card over the Ethernet module, and slightly tilt the DFC3 daughter card so
that the back end will clear the module connectors.
Step 4
Carefully slide the DFC3 under the two stiffener bracket tabs. (See

The DFC3 daughter card is designed to be installed on different modules; therefore, there may
be more mounting holes on the DFC3 daughter card than there are standoffs on the module. Not
all mounting holes on the DFC3 daughter card are used in all installations. Visually verify that
there are standoffs beneath the mounting holes before installing the installation hardware.
