This section provides information about the following tasks:

•Installing a new management module
Removing a management module
You can remove a management module while the BigIron RX Series chassis is powered on and
running.
NOTE
Before removing and replacing an active or standby management module, you need to understand
how these actions affect management module redundancy.
Before removing a management module from the BigIron RX Series chassis, have the following on
hand:
•An ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to the ESD connector on the BigIron RX Series
chassis.
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a 1 meg ohm series resistor.
•A large flat-head screwdriver.
Follow the steps given below to remove a management module from the BigIron RX Series chassis.
1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by inserting the plug into the ESD connector
located on the chassis front.
2. Using the flathead screwdriver if necessary, loosen the two screws on the ends of the module.
3. Pull the card ejectors towards you, and away from the module front panel. This action unseats
the module from the backplane.
4. Pull the module out of the chassis, and place in an anti-static bag for storage if desired.
5. Install a new module in the slot. For information about performing this task, refer to “Installing
a new management module”.
CAUTION
If you do not install a module in a slot, you must keep the slot blank in place. If you run the
chassis with an uncovered slot, the system may overheat.
