Step 1 Remove the necessary spine modules, spine module blanks, leaf modules, and leaf module blanks. For detailed instructions, please refer to the section Removing a Module or Blank, page 2-18.

Note If the user is only adding additional modules, remove only the blank(s) for the slot(s) to be populated. These will not be replaced.

Step 1 When placing the spine modules and leaf modules into chassis slots, the following recommendations apply:

a.Spine Modules — It is recommended that the spine module(s) be installed into:

Lower Hemisphere: Slot 1 for managed. For redundant management, populate slots 1 and 2 with management-capable spines. Use slot 3 for unmanaged.

Upper Hemisphere: Slot 5 for managed. For redundant management, populate slots 5 and 6 with management-capable spines. Use slot 4 for unmanaged.
