The DCS-7316 fabric module is almost three feet long and weighs close to 40 pounds. Use
necessary precautions to safely manage the component outside of the chassis.
B.2.2 Inserting Fabric Modules
The fabric module insertion process is the inverse of the removal procedure. These instructions
describe the method of inserting the fabric module into a chassis.
Step 1 Grasping the module by its frame, place the module chassis railing that corresponds to the
slot where it is to be placed. The lock-levers should be in the closed position.
Step 2 Slide the module into the chassis until it’s within three to four inches of being fully inserted
(
Figure B-4-right ).
Step 3 Press the Release Button to release the lock-levers into the open position ( Figure B-4-left ).
Step 4 Continue inserting the module into the chassis. If other fabric modules are in the chassis, the
module being installed should be in the same relative position (
Figure B-3-right ).
Step 5 Return the lock-levers to the closed position, securing the module to the chassis
(
Figure B-3-left ).
