Installing Supervisor Modules

In a Cisco MDS 9513 Director, slots 7 and 8 are reserved for the Supervisor-2 modules. In the Cisco MDS 9509 Director, slot 5 is reserved for the Supervisor-2 or Supervisor-1 module. In the Cisco MDS 9506 Director, slot 5 is reserved for the Supervisor-1 module. Slot 6 in the Cisco MDS 9509 and 9506 Directors is reserved for an additional redundant supervisor module in case the supervisor module in slot 5 fails. See Figure 1-3 on page 1-6and Figure 1-4 on page 1-7for slot locations.

Supervisor-1 modules and Supervisor-2 modules cannot be used in the same switch, except for migration purposes. Both the active and standby supervisor modules must be of the same type, either Supervisor-1 or Supervisor-2 modules. For Cisco MDS 9513 Directors, both supervisor modules must be Supervisor-2 modules.

Step 1 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 2-6.

Step 2 Verify that there is enough clearance to accommodate any cables or interface equipment that you want to connect to the module.

Step 3 Verify that the captive screws are tightened to 8 in-lb on all modules already installed in the chassis. This ensures that the EMI gaskets are fully compressed and maximizes the opening space for the module being installed.

Step 4 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 Other Switching and Services Modules” section on page 2-45.

Step 5 Open both the ejector levers on the new or replacement module completely. (See Figure 2-22.)
