Removing a Switching or Services Module from Slot 2

This section describes how to remove a module from slot 2 in the Cisco MDS 9216 Switch.

To remove a switching or services module from the chassis, follow these steps:

Step 1 Disconnect any network interface cables attached to the module.

Step 2 Loosen the two captive screws on the module.

Step 3 Remove the module from the chassis as follows:

a.Place your thumbs on the left and right ejector levers (shown in Figure 2-9 on page 2-23) and simultaneously rotate the levers outward to unseat the module from the backplane connector.

b.Grasp the front edge of the module and slide the module part of the way out of the slot. Place your other hand under the module to support the weight of the module. Do not touch the module circuitry.

Step 4 Place the module on an antistatic mat or antistatic foam, or immediately reinstall it in another slot.

Step 5 If the slot will remain empty, install a filler panel to keep dust out of the chassis and maintain consistent airflow.

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

Installing a Switching or Services Module in Slot 2
