Chapter 3 Installing Supervisor Engines

Removing a Supervisor Engine

Removing a Supervisor Engine

This section describes how to remove a supervisor engine from the Catalyst 6500 series switch chassis.

Caution During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the module.

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

Before you remove a supervisor engine, you should first upload the current configuration to a server. This step saves time when bringing the module back online. You can recover the configuration by downloading it from the server to the nonvolatile memory of the supervisor engine. For more information, refer to Chapter 27, “Working with Configuration Files,” in the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Software Configuration Guide or in Chapter 4, Chapter 5, and Chapter 6 in the Catalyst 6500 Series Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide.

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

Step 1 Attach an ESD grounding strap to your wrist and to the ESD ground connector on the chassis or to a properly grounded bare metal surface.

Note If you are unsure about the correct way to attach an ESD grounding strap, see the “Attaching Your ESD Grounding Strap” section on page C-1for instructions.

Step 2 Disconnect any network interface cables attached to the module.

Step 3 Verify that the captive installation screws on all of the modules in the chassis are tight.

Note This step ensures that the space created by the removed module is maintained. If the captive installation screws are loose, the EMI gaskets on the installed modules will push the modules toward the open slot, reducing the opening size and making it difficult to remove the module.

Step 4 Loosen the two captive screws on the module. Make sure that the two captive screws are completely unscrewed from the chassis.

Step 5 Depending on the orientation of the slots in the chassis (horizontal or vertical), perform one of the following two sets of steps:

Horizontal slots

a.Place your thumbs on the left and right ejector levers and simultaneously rotate the levers outward to unseat the module from the backplane connector. (See Figure 3-5.)

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. (See Figure 3-6.)
