Required Tools
You will need these tools to install a supervisor engine in a Catalyst 4500 series switch:
•
Number 1 and number 2 Phillips screwdrivers for the captive installation screws on most modules
•
3/16-in. flat-blade screwdriver for the captive installation screws on other modules
•
Antistatic mat or antistatic foam
•
Wrist strap or other grounding device
Note
Whenever you handle supervisor engines, use a wrist strap or other grounding device to prevent
electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
ESD damage, which can occur when electronic cards or components are improperly handled, results in
complete or intermittent failures. Port adapters and processor modules consist of printed circuit boards
that are fixed in metal carriers. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and connectors are integral
components of the carrier. Although the metal carrier helps to protect the board from ESD, use a
preventive antistatic strap during handling.
Following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:
•
Always use an ESD wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact.
•
Connect the equipment end of the strap to an unfinished chassis surface.
•
When installing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to
properly seat the bus connectors in the backplane or midplane. These devices prevent accidental
removal, provide proper grounding for the system, and help to ensure that bus connectors are
properly seated.
•
When removing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to
release the bus connectors from the backplane or midplane.
•
Handle carriers by available handles or edges only; avoid touching the printed circuit boards or
connectors.
