Removing a switch fabric module
You can remove a switch fabric module from the chassis while it is powered on and running.
Before removing a switch fabric module from the chassis, have the following on hand:
• An ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to the ESD connector on the chassis.
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megohm resistor.
• A #2 Phillips-head or flathead screwdriver.
To remove a switch fabric module from the chassis, perform the following tasks.
1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by inserting the plug into the ESD connector
located in the lower right corner of the chassis front.
2. Use a #2 Phillips-head or flathead screwdriver to loosen and remove the two screws on the ends
of the module.
3. Pull the card ejectors towards you and away from the module front panel. This action unseats the
module from the backplane.
4. Pull the module out of the chassis, and place in an anti-static bag for storage if desired.
5. Install a new module in the slot as instructed in the following section.
