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, Including Caching Services Modules

The following warning applies only to the Caching Services Module:

Warning Do not touch or bridge the metal contacts on the battery. Unintentional discharge of the batteries can cause serious burns. Statement 341

Note Before installing any modules in the chassis, Cisco recommends installing the chassis in the rack. See the “Installing the Chassis in a Cabinet or Rack” section on page 2-5.

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 2-28.

Step 3 Open fully both ejector levers on the new or replacement module (see Figure 2-18 on page 2-30). 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 2-19 on page 2-31).

c.Grasp the two ejector levers using the thumb and forefinger of each hand and press down to create a small 0.040-in. (1 mm) gap between the module's EMI gasket and the module above it (see Figure 2-20).
