Caution
Unlatching the right ejector lever, so that it disengages from the latch lock (Callout 1 in above figure) triggers
graceful shutdown of the Supervisor if the module is up. If the module shuts down then wait for the Supervisor
status LED to turn off before proceeding.
Moving the latch to the side does not disengage the latch from the lock. This is a safeguard mechanism if an
operator initiated shutdown of the supervisor has not been performed before opening the levers. The ejector
open will be logged.
Procedure
Step 1
Open the packaging for the new Supervisor Module, inspect the module for damage, and verify that the module
is the same type as the other Supervisor Module installed in the chassis.
If the module is damaged, alert the Technical Assistance Center (TAC).
Step 2
If you are installing the module in an empty slot, remove the blank that is already in that slot by unscrewing
its captive screw and pulling it out of the slot. Go to Step 4.
Step 3
If you are replacing a module that is currently in the chassis, remove the existing module from the chassis by
following these steps:
a) Run the shutdown location 1/ {SUP 1 | SUP 2} command in EXEC mode, which gracefully shuts down
Supervisor module to prevent any of the file systems from being corrupted.
b) Verify that the Supervisor Status LED for the slot that you specified turns to Amber. Also, you can use
the show platform command to verify that the status of the module is SHUT DOWN.
c) Disconnect the cables from the module.
d) If there are any external drives attached to the module through its USB ports, detach those drives.
e) Loosen the two captive screws (one on each side of the RP) until the screws are no longer in contact with
the chassis.
f) Slide the latch on each of the ejector lever outwards from the lever center (see Callout 1 in the below
figure).
This action disengages the ejector levers from the faceplate.
