Removing and Replacing Modules

WARNING
Static electricity can damage switch components. Be sure to wear antistatic
wrist straps before handling hardware modules and disk drives. The plug is
located on the left side of the cable guide on the bottom front of the chassis
(shown in Figure 6.8 on page 6-14).
Important
Removing a non-NSM module (or the only NSM) causes the switch to
reboot.
In a redundant pair where this switch is active, services fail over to the
junior switch. In a redundant pair where this switch is in the Backup/junior
role, service is unaffected. A standalone switch does not offer any service
for the duration of the reboot.
The module front panels provide ejector tabs that seat/unseat the modules in
their slots in the chassis. Ejector tab positions indicate:
• Ejector tab down or closed (flush against the module): module is
operational (online) (see Figure B.1)
• Ejector tab up or open (away from the module): module is not
operational (offline)
To remove and replace a module:
1. Loosen the captive screws (top and bottom) on the module to be
removed.
2. Release the ejector tabs (top and bottom) on the module.
3. Carefully slide the module out of its slot.
4. Insert the new module (of the same type) into the same slot by
pushing on the front panel while simultaneously engaging the
ejectors.
When the module connects (pins engage) at the backplane, the
module is online.
