Removing a Caching Services Module
Note
A minimum of two CSMs in each fabric are required for redundancy and data backup.
Warning
Do not touch or bridge the metal contacts on the battery. Unintentional discharge of the batteries can
cause serious burns.
Statement 341
Warning
Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations.
Statement 1040
Caution
Wait for all LEDs to turn off before removing the module from the chassis. If the LEDs are on, the
module still has power.
To remove a CSM module from the chassis, follow these steps:
Step 1
Power off the module from the CLI. For information about the correct command to use, see the Cisco
MDS 9000 Family NX-OS Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
Step 2
Ensure that the backup process has completed by verifying that all LEDs on the module have turned off.
This requires up to 10 minutes.
Step 3
Loosen the two captive screws on the module.
Step 4
Remove the module from the chassis as follows:
a.
Place your thumbs on the left and right ejector levers (shown in
Figure 2-22 on page 2-41
) and
simultaneously rotate the levers outward to unseat the module from the backplane connector.
b.
Grasp the front edge of the module and slide the module partially 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 5
Place the module on an antistatic mat or antistatic foam if not immediately reinstalling it in another slot.
Step 6
If the slot will remain empty, install a filler panel to keep the chassis dust-free and to maintain consistent
airflow.
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.
