Installing a Fabric Module
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 can be in slots FM 1, FM 2, FM 3, FM 4, and FM 6. Alternatively, they can be in Slots FM
2, FM 3, FM 4, FM 5, and FM 6.
• For five FM-E or FM-E2 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) Enter the poweroff module command. Input a slot number between 21 and 26 (labeled as FM 1 through FM 6 on
the chassis).
b) Verify that the Fabric LED for the slot that you specified turns on.
If you did not use the poweroff module command to shut down the original fabric module before removing

it, do not use the no poweroff module command. The module begins to power up when you connect it to an
AC power source and the chassis.
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.
