Removing a Switching Module
Before you begin
Note : You need a flat-blade or number 2 Phillips-head screwdriver to loosen or tighten the captive
screws on the switching module.
About this task
You can remove one of these modules at a time while the switch is operating. Use this procedure to
remove a switching module from the chassis.
Procedure
1. Disconnect any network interface cables attached to the module.
2. Loosen the two captive screws on the module being removed.
3. Press ejector release buttons on the left and right ends of the module to push out the ejector levers
and to disconnect the module.
4. Simultaneously rotate the two ejector levers outward to unseat the module from the mid-plane
connector.
5. With a hand on each ejector, pull the module part way out of its slot in the chassis.
6. Grasp the front edge of the module and slide the module partially out of the slot. Place your other hand
under the module to support the weight of the module. Do not touch the module circuitry.
7. Place the module on an antistatic mat or antistatic foam, or immediately reinstall it in another slot.
8. If the slot will remain empty, install a filler panel to keep the chassis dust-free and to maintain proper
airflow through the chassis.
Verifying Installation of the Supervisor and Switching Modules
About this task
To verify the module installation, complete the following steps:
Procedure
1. Verify that the ejector levers of each module are fully closed (parallel to the front of the module)
to ensure that the supervisor module and all switching or services modules are fully seated in the
backplane connectors.
2. Check the captive screws of each module, the power supply, and the fan module. Tighten any loose
captive screws to 8 in-lb.
3. Verify that any empty module slots have filler panels installed and that the screws holding the panels
in place are tight.
4. Turn on the power supply switches to power up the system and check the LEDs on the modules.
Note : For information about how to check connectivity of modules, see the Cisco NX-OS
Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
