Replacing a Versatile Interface
Module in a VSP 4900 Series Switch
This section describes how to replace versatile interface modules (VIM5) in the front slot of a VSP 4900
switch.
You need the following tools and materials to install a VIM:
•
ESD-preventive wrist strap
•

ground point on the rack.
2 Disconnect the switch power.
3 Remove the existing VIM:
a Remove the retaining screws holding the existing module in place.
b Save the retaining screws to secure the new module in the switch.
c Pull the old module out of the module slot.
4 Remove the new VIM from its anti-static packaging.
5 Install the VIM in the switch:
