Remove a Fabric Module
• Prepare an antistatic surface or packing materials for each module that you remove from the chassis.
Procedure
Step 1 If you are replacing a fabric module, open the packaging for the new module and inspect it for damage.
If the module is damaged, alert the Technical Assistance Center (TAC) and stop this replacement process
until you have an undamaged module to install.
Step 2
To prevent loss of packets during operations, shut down the fabric module as follows:
a) Shut the fabric control plane using the controller fabric plane <plane-id> shutdown command.
There are eight planes and the value of the <plane-id> is between 1–8.
When you are replacing the module, shut down the corresponding fabric plane of the module. For example,
when you are replacing the module in slot 0 (0/FC0), shut down fabric plane 0.
b) Run the poweroff/no poweroff modulelocation command.
c) Verify that the fabric LED for the slot that you specified turns off. Also, you can use the show platform
command to verify that the status of the module is SHUT DOWN.
Since the Fan trays are blocking the view, fabric module LEDs might not be visible. Therefore, you can
verify the fabric module LEDs status using show led location 0/FClocation command.
Step 3 Remove the fan tray covering the fabric module in the chassis.
Refer the fan tray removal
Step 4
Remove the fabric module that you are replacing by following these steps:
a) Unscrew the two captive screws on the center of each of the two handles on the fabric module (see Callout
1 in the following figure).
b) Rotate the handles outwards until they stop (see Callout 2 in the following figure).
c) With each of the two handles in your two hands, pull the module a couple of inches (about 5 cm) out of
the slot (see the following figure).
