Removing an Expansion Module from a Cisco Nexus 5500 Platform Chassis
To remove an expansion module from the Cisco Nexus 5500 Platform switch chassis, follow these steps:
Step 1 Disconnect any network interface cables attached to the module.
Step 2 Open the packing materials for the module and prepare an antistatic surface for uninstalled modules. Step 3 Loosen the captive screw on the ejector lever so that the lever can move.
Step 4 Rotate the ejector lever fully from the front of the module until it stops at about 80 degrees from the front.
Step 5 With one hand on the ejector handle and front of the module, pull the module part way out of its slot in the chassis.
Step 6 Place your other hand under the module to support its weight and fully remove the module. Step 7 Place the module on an antistatic surface or pack it in its packing materials.
You are ready to install a replacement module in the chassis as described in the “Installing an Expansion Module in a Cisco Nexus 5500 Platform Chassis” section on page
