Replacing a Versatile Interface Module (VIM) in a Summit X480,
X650 or X670 Series Switch
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.
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. AVIM will not operate if it is installed in the wrong switch series.
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 (see
page 357):
a Remove the retaining screws at the top corners of the module, and set the screws aside in a
safeplace.
b Save the retaining screws to secure the new module in the switch.
c Rotate the inserter/extractor levers downward to disconnect the internal module connectors.
d Carefully slide the module out of the switch and set it on an anti-static surface.
