Replacing a NIM
Procedure
Step 1
To insert a NIM, locate the guide rails that hold the NIM in place. They are at the top left and top right of the
NIM slot and are recessed about an inch.
Step 2
Carefully slide the NIM all the way in using both hands until the NIM is firmly seated in the NIM interface
connector. When fully seated, the NIM might be slightly behind the faceplate.
Step 3
After the NIM is properly seated, fasten the NIM in place with the captive installation screws on either side
of the NIM.
Ensure that you screw down the captive installation screws to provide appropriate connectivity.
Note
The NIM should power up after installation.
Step 4
Use the
show platform
command to verify whether the status of subslot 0/3 is OK.
