Installing a Fabric Module
1 Unscrew 2 captive screws (1 on each ejector handle).
2 Rotate both ejector handles away from the front of
the module.
3 Be sure that the locking posts fully rotate down into
the module.
Step 3 Fit the guide rails on the top of the module into the track on the top of the slot. Make sure that the guide bar on the bottom
of the module goes into the module guide at the bottom of the slot.
Be sure that you are installing the fabric module in a supported fabric module slot. The supported fabric module slots
differ depending on the number of fabric modules that are installed in the switch as follows:
• For three modules, they must be in slots FM 2, FM 4, and FM 6
• For four modules, they must be in slots FM2, FM 3, FM 4, and FM 6
• For five modules, they must be in Slots FM 2, FM 3, FM 4, FM 5, and FM 6.
• For six modules, they are in slots FM 1, FM 2, FM 3, FM 4, FM 5, and FM 6
Step 4
Slide the module all the way into the slot.
Step 5 Rotate both ejector levers to the front of the chassis and be sure that the module is locked to the top and bottom of the
slot.
Step 6
Screw in the captive screw on each of the two levers so that each lever is locked in place on the module. Tighten each
screw to 8 in-lb (0.9 N·m) of torque.
Step 7
Power up the fabric module as follows:
a) On the menu bar of the APIC GUI, choose FABRIC > INVENTORY.
If you have already navigated to the fabric module, go to step 7c.
Note
b) In the Navigation pane, navigate to the fabric module as follows:
1. Expand the appropriate Pod.
2. Expand the appropriate spine.
3. Expand Chassis.
4. Expand Fabric Modules.
5. Choose the appropriate fabric slot.
c) On the upper right corner of the Properties screen, choose Actions > Enable.
d) Verify that the Fabric LED for the slot that you specified turns on.
Step 8 Reinstall the fan module over the replaced fabric module by following these steps:
a) Use both of your hands to hold the two handles on the front of the fan tray that you are installing.
