Replacing an SSC

To replace an existing SSC, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Enter the hw-mod mod 1 shut command in privileged EXEC mode. Verify if the module is down by checking the LEDs.

Step 2 Locate the grounding strap from the accessory kit and fasten it to your wrist so that it contacts your bare skin. Attach the other end to the chassis.

Step 3 Remove the two screws (as shown in Figure 4-4) at the left rear end of the chassis.

Step 4 Remove the SSC. Set it aside.

Step 5 Replace the existing card by inserting the new SSC through the slot opening as shown in Figure 4-5. Step 6 Attach the screws to secure the SSC to the chassis.

Step 7 Enter the hw-mod mod 1 reset command in privileged EXEC mode to reset the SSC. Step 8 Check the LEDs. If the SSC is installed properly, the STATUS LED flashes green.

Step 9 Connect one end of the RJ-45 cable to the port and the other end of the cable to your network devices.
