Removing the DFC
Caution
Use care not to damage the connectors on the module. If you damage a connector, it will be
necessary to return the module to Cisco for repair.
Caution
You
must
install screws in all available standoffs. The screws provide grounding between the
DFC3 and the module. Failure to install all screws will invalidate the safety approvals and
pose a risk of fire and electrical hazard.
Removing the DFC
Note
Throughout this publication, unless otherwise noted, the term DFC refers to the DFC, DFC3A, DFC3B,
and DFC3BXL.
Note
The figures in this procedure show the DFC. The procedure is the same for the DFC, DFC3A, DFC3B,
and DFC3BXL.
Caution
During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the module. Do not directly
touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself.
To remove the DFC, perform these steps:
Step 1
Remove the module from the Catalyst 6500 series switch. (Refer to the
Catalyst 6500 Series Switch
Module Installation and Verification Note
for removal instructions.)
Step 2
Place the module on an antistatic mat or foam, with the front of the module facing toward you.
Step 3
Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the securing screws and the two cap nuts from the DFC.
