Removing and Ethernet Module
Before You Begin
During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the module.
Caution
Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams
or view directly with optical instruments.
Statement 1051
Warning
Step 1
Attach an ESD grounding strap to your wrist and to ground.
Step 2
Disconnect any network interface cables attached to the module.
Step 3
Verify that the captive installation screws on all of the modules in the chassis are tight.
This step ensures that the space created by the removed module is maintained. If the captive installation screws are loose,
the EMI gaskets on the installed modules will push the modules toward the open slot, reducing the opening size and
making it difficult to remove the module.
Step 4
Loosen the two captive screws on the module. Make sure that the two captive screws are completely unscrewed from
the chassis.
Step 5
Place your thumbs on the left and right ejector levers and simultaneously rotate the levers outward to unseat the module
from the backplane connector.
Step 6
Grasp the front edge of the module and slide the module part of the way out of the slot. Place your other hand under the
module to support the weight of the module. Do not touch the module circuitry.
Step 7
Place the removed module on an antistatic mat or in an antistatic bag, or immediately reinstall it in another slot.
Step 8
Perform one of the following steps:
•
Install another module.
•
Install a module filler plate.
If the slot is to remain empty and is adjacent to a module, you must install a module filler plate (Cisco part numbers
SLOTBLANK-09 or WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR-E) to maintain proper air flow through the chassis. Do not install a blank
slot cover (Cisco part number WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR) over the unused slot.
