Step 14
makes contact with the midplane.
Simultaneously push both ejector levers inward until they come in contact with the face of the module.
Step 15
The module should be fully seated in the slot and the captive screws should be aligned with their holes
Step 16
in the chassis. The EMI gasket should close the gap between this module and the next module.
Screw in the two captive screws to the chassis and tighten them to 8 in-lb (0.9 N·m).
Step 17
Step 18 Reconnect the console cable to the CONSOLE SERIAL PORT as explained in the
Console" section on page
Step 19 If the previous supervisor module was connected to an asynchronous device through a modem, connect
the modem cable to the COM1/AUX SERIAL PORT as explained in the
section on page
Reconnect the network management cable to the MGMT ETH port as explained in the
Step 20

Verify that the module has 4 GB of memory by using the system switchover command to make the
Step 22
downgraded module active and using the show system resources command.
If you need to downgrade the other supervisor module to 4 GB (both modules must have the same amount
Step 23
of memory), repeat Steps 2 through 21.
Verify that the downgraded module has 4 GB of memory. If there are two supervisor modules installed
Step 24
in the switch, use the system switchover command to make the downgraded module active, and then use
the show system resources command. If there is just one supervisor module installed in the switch, use
the show system resources command.
If you need to downgrade another supervisor module to 4 GB (both supervisor modules in a switch with
Step 25
two supervisors must have the same amount of memory), repeat Steps 2 through 24.

Replacing an I/O Module

The Cisco Nexus 7010 switch has up to eight I/O modules, and a Cisco Nexus 7018 has up to 16 I/O
modules. These modules are located on the front of the chassis. You can replace one of these modules at
a time while the switch is operating.
If you are installing F2 I/O modules, all of the fabric modules in the switch must be Series 2 fabric
