Removing the Module

This section describes how to remove an existing module from a Catalyst 6500 series switch chassis slot.
During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card. Do not directly
Caution
touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself.
Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into
Warning
beams or view directly with optical instruments.
To remove a module from the chassis, perform these steps:
Disconnect any network interface cables that are attached to the module.
Step 1
Verify that the captive installation screws on all of the modules in the chassis are tight.
Step 2
This step assures that the space that is created by the removed module is maintained.
Note
Loosen the two captive installation screws on the module.
Step 3
Depending on the orientation of the slots in the chassis (horizontal or vertical), perform one of the
Step 4
following sets of substeps:

Slot 1 is reserved for the supervisor engine.
Slot 2 can be used for a redundant supervisor engine if the supervisor engine in slot 1 fails.
If a redundant supervisor engine is not required, slots 2 through 6 on the 6-slot chassis, slots 2
through 9 on the 9-slot chassis, and slots 2 through 13 on the 13-slot chassis are available for
switching modules, such as the CSM-S.
The empty slots require filler plates, which are blank switching-module carriers that maintain
consistent airflow through the switch chassis.
If the captive installation screws are loose, the electromagnetic interference (EMI) gaskets on
the installed modules will push the modules toward the open slot, reducing the opening size and
making it difficult to install the replacement module.
Place your thumbs on the left and right ejector levers, and simultaneously rotate the levers outward
to unseat the module from the backplane connector.
Grasp the front edge of the module, and slide the module part of the way out of the slot. Place your
other hand under the module to support the weight of the module. Do not touch the module circuitry.
Place your thumbs on the ejector levers that are located at the top and bottom of the module, and
simultaneously rotate the levers outward to unseat the module from the backplane connector.
Grasp the edges of the module, and slide the module straight out of the slot. Do not touch the module
circuitry.
