Preparing the Supervisor Engine 720

Preparing the Supervisor Engine 720

Note In this section, the term "PFC3B" refers to the PFC3B and PFC3BXL unless otherwise noted.

To install the PFC3B on a Supervisor Engine 720, you must shut down the switch, remove the Supervisor Engine 720 from the chassis, and remove the PFC3A from the Supervisor Engine 720.

Caution Always use an ESD wrist strap when handling modules or coming into contact with internal components.

Before you remove a supervisor engine, you should first upload the current configuration to a server. This 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 26, “Working with Configuration Files,” in the Catalyst 6500 Series Software Configuration Guide.

To prepare the Supervisor Engine 720 for the PFC3B, follow these steps:

Step 1 Upload the current configuration to a server. On any modules running Cisco IOS software, save the running configuration.

Step 2 Shut down the switch.

Step 3 Remove the Supervisor Engine 720 from the Catalyst 6500 series switch. (Refer to the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Module Installation Guide for removal instructions.)

Step 4 Place the Supervisor Engine 720 on an antistatic mat or foam.

Removing the PFC3A from the Supervisor Engine 720

To remove the PFC3A from the Supervisor Engine 720, follow these steps:

Step 1 Remove the nine securing screws and two cap nuts. (See Figure 1.)

Note Set the removed screws and cap nuts aside. Use the supplied screws and cap nuts when securing the PFC3B or PFC3BXL to the Supervisor Engine 720.
