Removing or Replacing a Module
Removing or Replacing a Module
Use this section to do either of the following:
■
Replace one module with another
■
Remove a module without replacing it
Figure 10.
Removing the Module from the Slot
1.
Remove any network cables from the ports on the module.
2.
Loosen the screws in the extractor handles of the module you want to
remove from the switch. (Refer to figure 10, above.)
3.
Simultaneously pull both extractor handles toward you until the module
releases from the slot and the Fault and status LEDs for that slot are off.
Note
During removal (or installation) the module and switch connectors will
momentarily be only partially connected. The fault LED for the slot flashes
rapidly to indicate this state until the module is removed or properly installed.
(The other modules in the switch will continue to forward packets normally,
but other switch functions will be suspended until the module is removed or
properly installed.)
4.
Slide the module out of the slot.
