5 Replacing or Removing a Module
Follow these procedures to replace one module with another, or to remove a module without
replacing it:
1.
Remove any network cables from the ports on the module.
2.
If the module you want to remove has a shutdown button, make sure to shut down the module
before removing it either by using the CLI
shutdown
command or by using the shutdown
button.
3.
On the module you want to remove from the switch, unscrew the retaining screws enough
to disconnect them from the threaded holes in the switch.

Do one of the following:
•
If you will be installing another module in the slot, go to
“Installing the Module in an
Unused Slot” (page 12)
and begin with step 2 before returning here to continue the
remaining steps.
•
If you will not install another module in the slot (that is, leave it empty), then re-install a
slot cover plate over the empty slot opening.
CAUTION:
For proper cooling and reduction of electromagnetic emissions, ensure a slot
cover is installed on any unused slot.
