Verifying Installation of a Switching or Services Module in Slot 2

To verify the module installation in slot 2, follow these steps:

faceplate) to ensure that the module is fully seated in the backplane connectors.
Step2 Check the captive screws of the module, the power supply, and the fan module,
and tighten any loose captive screws.
Step3 If the slot is to remain empty, verify that a filler panel is installed and that the
screws holding the panel in place are tightened.
Step4 Turn on the power supply switches to power up the system and check the LEDs
on the module.
