Replacing a Versatile Interface Module, Solid-state Drive, or Clock
Module in an X460-G2 Series or X465 Series Switch
This section describes how to replace versatile interface modules (VIMs) or a clock module in the rear
slot of an X460-G2 switch, or VIM5 in the front and SSD in the rear slot of an X465 switch.
Note
Clock module ports are output ports; clock module ports are not to be used as input ports.
You need the following tools and materials to install a VIM or clock module:
•
ESD-preventive wrist strap
•
#2 Phillips screwdriver
The replacement procedure is the same for all X460-G2 VIMs and clock modules, and all X465 VIM5s
and SSDs, with the exception that the VIMs and SSDs use slotted retaining screws and the clock module
uses Phillips retaining screws.
To replace a VIM, SSD, or clock module:
1. Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect the metal end to an appropriate
ground point on the rack.
2. Disconnect the switch power.
3. Remove the existing VIM, SSD, or clock module:
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, SSD, or clock module from its anti-static packaging.
5. Install the VIM, SSD, or clock module in the switch:
a. Carefully slide the module into the switch.
