Position the back of the fan tray to the open fan tray
slot. The pins on the top and bottom of the fan tray
align to holes in the chassis. The 2 sets of rails on the
top of the fan tray align to 2 sets of tracks on the top
of the open slot. Slide the fan tray all the way into the
slot.

Step 2
Position the fan tray with its rear (the side with the electrical connectors) at the opening for the fan tray slot in the chassis.
Step 3
Align the two tracks on the top of the fan tray with the two sets of rails at the top of the open fan tray slot in the chassis.
Step 4
Slide the fan tray all the way into the slot until the front of the fan tray touches the chassis.
Make sure that the four captive screws on the front of the fan tray align with the four screw holes in the chassis.
Step 5
Screw in the four captive screws to secure the fan tray to the chassis. Tighten the screws to 8 in-lb (0.9 N·m) of torque.
Step 6
Verify that the fan tray STATUS LED turns on and becomes green.
Replacing a Fabric Module
The switch uses three to six fabric modules depending on the requirements of the line cards that are installed
in the chassis.
Do not mix fabric module types in the same switch.
Note
If you are downgrading the operating system, you must ensure both of the following:
• The new version of software supports the fabric modules and line cards, which are installed in the same
switch.
• The fabric modules that are installed in the switch, support the line cards that are installed in the same
switch.
Note
The fabric modules must be installed in specific slots as follows (installing fabric modules in other slots can
cause a module mismatch condition):
• For three modules, they must be in slots FM 2, FM 4, and FM 6.
• For four modules, they must be in slots FM2, FM 3, FM 4, and FM 6.
• For five modules, they can be in slots FM 1, FM 2, FM 3, FM 4, and FM 6. Alternatively, they can be
in Slots FM 2, FM 3, FM 4, FM 5, and FM 6.
• For five FM-E or FM-E2 modules, they must be in Slots FM 2, FM 3, FM 4, FM 5, and FM 6.
• For six modules, they are in slots FM 1, FM 2, FM 3, FM 4, FM 5, and FM 6
