Installing or Replacing a Supervisor Module
• 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 and inspect the module for damage.
If the module is damaged, alert the Technical Assistance Center (TAC).
Step 2 If you are installing the module in an empty slot, remove the blank module that is already in that slot by unscrewing its
captive screw and pulling it out of the slot. Go to Step 4.
Step 3
If you are replacing a module that is currently in the chassis, remove the existing module from the chassis by following
these steps:
a) Disconnect and label the following cables from the module:
• Console cable
• Ethernet Management cable
b) If there are any external drives attached to the module through its USB ports, detach those drives.
c) Slide the middle section of the ejector handle toward the end of the handle and rotate the handle away from the front
of the module (see Callouts 1 and 2 in the following figure).
The module unseats its connectors from the midplane and moves slightly out of the chassis.
