Installing a Supervisor Engine or a Switching Module
To install a supervisor engine or module in the chassis, follow these steps:
Choose a slot for the supervisor engine or module.
Step 1
Verify that there is enough clearance to accommodate any interface equipment
Step 2
that you will connect directly to the supervisor engine or module ports. If
possible, place modules between empty slots that contain only module filler
plates.
Verify that the captive installation screws are tightened on all modules installed
Step 3
in the chassis. This action assures that the EMI gaskets on all modules are fully
compressed in order to maximize the opening space for the new or replacement
module.
Note
Remove the module filler plate by removing the two Phillips pan-head screws
Step 4
from the filler plate. To remove a module, refer to
Engine or a Switching Module" section on page
Fully open both ejector levers on the new or replacement module. (See
Step 5

If the captive installation screws are loose, the EMI gaskets on the
installed modules will push adjacent modules toward the open slot,
reducing the opening size and making it difficult to install the
replacement module.
