Configuring the NAM
Step 2
Verify that the NAM shuts down. Do not remove the NAM from the switch until the STATUS LED is
off or orange.
Step 3
Use a screwdriver to loosen the captive installation screws at the left and right sides of the NAM.
Step 4
Grasp the left and right ejector levers. Simultaneously, pull the left lever to the left and the right lever to
the right to release the NAM from the backplane connector.
Step 5
As you pull the module out of the slot, place one hand under the carrier to support it. Avoid touching
the module itself.
Step 6
Carefully pull the NAM straight out of the slot, keeping one hand under the carrier to guide it. Keep the
module at a 90-degree orientation to the backplane (horizontal to the floor).
Step 7
Place the removed module on an antistatic mat or antistatic foam.
Warning
Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to
hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference
(EMI) that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the
chassis. Do not operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are
in place.
Step 8
If the slot is to remain empty, install a module filler plate to keep dust out of the chassis and to maintain
proper airflow through the module compartment.
Configuring the NAM
How you configuring the NAM on your switch depends on whether you are using Cisco IOS software or
the Catalyst OS software. There are also NAM configuration tasks that are common to both switch
operating systems.
The following sections describe how to configure the NAM from the CLI for each switch operating
system:
•
Cisco IOS Software, page 16
•
Catalyst OS Software, page 24
When you have completed configuring the software-dependent attributes for the NAM, you can
configure the software-independent attributes in this section:

Operating System-Independent Configuration, page 31
Cisco IOS Software
These sections describe how to remove the NAM from the Catalyst 6000 family switch when using Cisco
IOS:
