B.2
Handling Fabric Modules
depicts a DCS-7316 chassis with the inner two fabric modules installed. Lock-levers are
shown in the open and closed position, along with the button that releases them into the open position.
The lock-levers are in the closed position when the switch is in service.
Figure B-2: Locking Mechanism: DCS-7316 Fabric
These sections describe fabric module handling procedures. Illustrations depict a DCS-7316 chassis
and fabric modules. While proper handling of DCS-7316 components is imperative because of their
size and weight, the instructions also describe best practices for handling DCS-7304 and DCS-7308
components.
B.2.1
Removing Fabric Modules
This procedure removes a fabric from the switch chassis.
Step 1
Release the lock-levers from the module frame (
Step 2
Extend the lock-levers towards the top and bottom of the chassis (
Step 3
Use the lock-levers to pull the module three to four inches (
Step 4
Return the lock-levers to the closed position (
