Cisco Systems 4900M manual Installing the Switch Configurable Modules

Chapter 3 Installing the Switch

Configurable Modules

To install a switching module in a Catalyst 4900M series switch, follow this procedure:

Step 1 Take the necessary precautions to prevent ESD damage as described in Appendix B and in Chapter 2.

Step 2 Choose a slot for the new switching module. Ensure that you have enough clearance to accommodate any interface equipment that you will connect directly to the switching module ports.

Step 3 Loosen the captive installation screws that secure the switching-module filler plate (or the existing switching module) to the desired slot.

Step 4 Remove the switching-module filler plate (or the existing switching module). Save the switching-module filler plate for future use. If you are removing an existing switching module, see the “Removing Switching Modules” section on page 3-16.

Step 5 To install the new switching module, grasp the switching-module front panel with one hand, and place your other hand under the carrier to support the switching module, as shown in Figure 3-9. Do not touch the printed circuit boards or connector pins.

Step 6 Align the edges of the circuit board with the slot guides on the sides of the switch chassis, as shown in Figure 3-9.
