To install a module in slot 2 of the chassis, follow these steps:

Step 1 Verify that there is enough clearance to accommodate any interface equipment that you connect directly to the nearby components.

Step 2 If a filler panel is installed, remove the two Phillips pan-head screws from the filler panel and remove the panel. To remove a currently installed module, see the “Removing and Installing Switching and Services Modules” section on

page 2-22.

Step 3 Open fully both ejector levers on the new or replacement module (see Figure 2-9 on page 2-23).

Step 4 Position the module in the chassis as follows:

a.Position the module in the slot, aligning the sides of the module carrier with the slot guides on each side of the slot.

b.Slide the module carefully into the slot until the EMI gasket along the top edge of the module makes contact with the supervisor module above it and both ejector levers have closed to approximately 45 degrees with respect to the module faceplate (see Figure 2-10 on page 2-24).

c.Grasp the two ejector levers using the thumb and forefinger of each hand and press down to create a small 0.040 inch (1 mm) gap between the module's EMI gasket and the module above it (see Figure 2-11).
