Removing a Fabric Module
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 Remove the fan tray that covers the fabric module by following these steps:
a) Unscrew the four captive screws on the front of the fan tray until each screw is free of the chassis. See Callout 1 in
the following figure.
1 Unscrew 4 captive screws (2 at the top of the module
and 2 at the bottom of the module).
2 Hold the 2 fan tray handles with both hands.
b) Hold both handles on the front of the fan tray with both of your hands and pull the fan tray out of the slot.
c) Set the fan tray on antistatic material or inside an antistatic bag.
Step 3 To prevent a loss of packets during operations, shut down the fabric module as follows:
a) On the menu bar of the APIC GUI, choose FABRIC > INVENTORY.
b) In the Navigation pane, navigate to the fabric module as follows:
1. Expand the appropriate Pod.
2. Expand the appropriate spine.
