Chapter 3 Installing Ethernet Switching Modules

Installing Pluggable Transceivers

b.Grasp the edges of the module, and slide the module straight out of the slot. Do not touch the module circuitry.

Step 6 Place the removed module on an antistatic mat or in an antistatic bag, or immediately reinstall it in another slot.

Step 7 If the slot is to remain empty and is adjacent to either a WS-X68xx or WS-X69xx module, you must install a module filler plate (Cisco part numbers SLOTBLANK-09 or WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR-E) to maintain proper air flow through the chassis. Do not install a blank slot cover (Cisco part number WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR) over the unused slot.

Warning Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place. Statement 1029

Warning Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments. Statement 1051

Installing Pluggable Transceivers

Some Catalyst 6500 Ethernet modules require that pluggable transceivers be installed in the module port sockets. These transceivers are normally shipped separately from the module and must be installed after the module is installed in the chassis slot. This section provides references to installation procedures for the various kinds of pluggable transceivers. Table 3-1lists the transceiver installation documents located on http://www.cisco.com.
