Installing service modules
CAUTION:
•
Keep filler panels installed on unused service module slots.
•
To prevent a filler panel from being drawn into the chassis when fan speed is high, use both
hands to grasp the filler panel by its two sides during filler panel installation and removal on an
operating device.
•
To avoid module damage or operation failure, use Type P service modules only with Type P fabric
modules. Type P service modules have a character of
P
in their module identifiers
(LSXM1CGQ36
P
B1 for example). Type P fabric modules have a character string of
SFP
in their
module identifiers (LSXM1
SFP
16F1 for example).
•
Captive screws are required to install a service module on the device. As a best practice, fasten a
captive screw to a torque of 5.5 kgf-cm (4.77 lbf-in).
•
Before you install a filler panel on the S12516G-EF, you must identify whether it is an MPU filler
panel or service module filler panel. As shown in
, an MPU filler panel does not have air
vents, but a service module filler panel has air vents on its front panel.
Figure 3-4 MPU filler panel and service module filler panel
The device came with one service module slot empty and the other service module slots each
installed with a filler panel.
The service module installation procedure is the same for the S12516G-EF and S12508G-EF. The
following uses the S12516G-EF as an example.
To install a service module:
1.
Remove the filler panel, if any, from the target service module slot.
The filler panel removal procedure is the same for service module and MPU slots. See
Keep the removed filler panel secure for future use.
2.
As shown by callout 1 in
, orient the service module with the lettering on it upright.
Holding both sides of the MPU with both hands, push the service module slowly and steadily
into the slot along the guide rails. Avoid touching other components in the chassis.
