Before installing a fabric module, make sure it is compatible with the interface modules
installed on the device. For example, type K fabric modules can be used only with Type K
interface modules. Type K interface modules have a K in their module identifiers (for example,
LSXM1CDQ36
K BR1) and Type K fabric modules have a character string of SFK in their
module identifiers (for example, LSXM1 SFK 08GR1).
To install a fabric module:
1. Remove the protection box from the connector side of the fabric module. For information about
removing the protection box, see
Figure 3-7 .
2. Release the ejector levers by pressing the spring clips.
3. Orient the fabric module with the side marked "UP" up. Hold the fabric module front panel near
the ejector levers with one hand and support the module bottom with the other. Place the
module bottom on the bottom guide rails of the chassis. Align the fabric module with the target
slot and insert it into the slot along the guide rails. See callout 1 in
Figure 3-8 .
Keep the module parallel to the slot to avoid touching other components in the chassis.
4. As shown by callout 2 in Figure 3-8 , continue to push the fabric module until the brakes on its
ejector levers touch the slot edges tightly. Simultaneously rotate the ejector levers inward until
the spring clips lock the ejector levers in place and the fabric module is completely seated in
the slot.
