Verifying The Switch Chassis Installation - Cisco Catalyst 6807-XL Hardware Installation Manual

Installing the Switch
• Handle carriers using the available handles or edges only; avoid touching the printed circuit boards or
• Place a removed component boardside up on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding container. If
• Never attempt to remove the printed circuit board from the metal carrier.

Verifying the Switch Chassis Installation

To verify the switch chassis installation, perform these steps:
Procedure
Step 1 Verify that the ejector levers of each module are fully closed (parallel to the faceplate) to ensure that the
supervisor engine and all the switching modules are fully seated in the backplane connectors.
Step 2 Check the captive installation screws of each module, power supply, and power supply converter. Tighten
loose captive installation screws.
Step 3
Verify that all empty module slots have blank faceplates installed properly. The blank faceplates optimize the
air flow through the chassis and contain EMI.

Step 4
Turn on the power supply switches to power up the system. During the power-up sequence, the system performs
a series of bootup diagnostic tests.
What to Do Next
Additional system diagnostic tests are available. These tests allow you to perform a complete sanity check on
the system prior to inserting the system into your network and to monitor the health of the system while the
system is running.
Tip When prestaging systems in a nonproduction environment, we recommend that you run all the diagnostic
tests, including the disruptive tests, to prescreen the systems for failures, if any.

connectors.
you plan to return the component to the factory, immediately place it in a static shielding container.
Caution For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement
should be between 1 and 10 megohm (Mohm).
Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions— They prevent exposure to
hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain EMI that might disrupt other
equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system
until all cards, face plates, front covers, and rear covers are in place. Statement 1029
