Chapter 12: Replacing Port Option Cards and VIMs
Replacing a Versatile Interface Module (VIM) in a
Summit X480, X650 or X670 Series Switch
The mechanical procedure for replacing a VIM is the same for modules in the Summit X480, X650, and
X670 series switches.
NOTE
VIM1 modules must be installed in Summit X650 series switches, VIM2 modules must be installed in
Summit X480 series switches, and VIM4 modules must be installed in Summit X670 series switches. VIM3 modules
can be installed in X480, X650, and X670 series switches. A VIM will not operate if it is installed in the wrong switch
series.
You need the following tools and materials to replace a VIM:
ESD-preventive wrist strap
●
#2 Phillips screwdriver
●
CAUTION
Summit VIMs are not hot-swappable. Disconnect power to the switch before removing an installed VIM.
After a VIM is installed in a compatible switch, you can hot-swap the installed SFP, SFP+, and QSFP+ modules.
Use only SFP, SFP+, and QSFP+ modules approved by Extreme Networks.
To replace a VIM:
1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your bare wrist and connect the metal end to an appropriate
ground point on the rack.
2 Disconnect the switch power.
3 Remove the installed VIM
a Remove the retaining screws at the top corners of the module, and set the screws aside in a
safe place.
Save the retaining screws to secure the new module in the switch.
b Rotate the inserter/extractor levers downward to disconnect the internal module connectors.
c Carefully slide the module out of the switch and set it on an anti-static surface.
