Before you begin
• Wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap or other ESD protective device while handling modules.
• Prepare an antistatic surface or packing materials for each module that you remove from the chassis.
Step 1 Open the packaging for the new supervisor module. Inspect the module for damage. Verify that the module is the same
type as the other supervisor module installed in the chassis.
If the module is damaged, alert the Technical Assistance Center (TAC).

Statement 1034 Backplane Voltage
Hazardous voltage or energy is present on the backplane when the system is operating. Use caution
when servicing.
Statement 1029 Blank Faceplates and Cover Panels
Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous
voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might
disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the
system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place.
