Removing and Installing a Crossbar Module

To remove a crossbar module from the Cisco MDS 9513 Director without compromising the integrity and availability of SANs when Generation 1 and Generation 2 modules are combined in the chassis, follow these steps:

Step 1 Shut down the crossbar module by using the out-of-service xbar slot command (where slot refers to the external crossbar module slot number).

Step 2 Loosen the two captive screws on the module being removed.

Step 3 Remove the module from the chassis as follows:

a.Place your thumbs on the top and bottom ejector levers and simultaneously rotate the levers outward to unseat the module from the midplane connector. (See Figure 2-25.)

b.Hold the front edge of the module and slide the module partially out of the slot. Do not touch the module circuitry.
