Installing switching fabric modules

CAUTION:

When you install a switching fabric module, avoid damaging the connectors on it.

Install switching fabric modules or filler panels in the switching fabric module slots before you install
the fan tray. Remove the fan tray before you remove the switching fabric modules or filler panels.

Install filler panels in the empty switching fabric module slots.

When you hot swap a switching fabric module, only one fan tray is operating and it makes loud
noise. Take protection measures such as wearing an earmuff or earplug. In addition, make good

preparation before hot swapping a switching fabric module to minimize the operation time.

The switch comes with all switching fabric module slots empty. Purchase switching fabric modules and

filler panels for the switching fabric module slots as required.
To install a switching fabric module:

1.

Place the switching fabric module on a workbench and remove the protection box from the
connector side of the switching fabric module. See

Figure 29

.

2.

Release the ejector levers by pressing the spring clips.
