Installing the
Step 6 If the slot from which you removed the module is to remain empty, install a module filler plate to keep dust out of the chassis and to maintain proper airflow through the chassis.
Warning Blank faceplates (filler 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 and faceplates are in place.
Installing a Module
This section describes how to install a module in the Catalyst 6500 series switches.
Caution To prevent ESD damage, handle modules by the carrier edges only.
Caution During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card. Do not directly touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself.
Warning Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments.
To install a module in the chassis, perform these steps:
Step 1 Choose a slot for the module.
Step 2 Verify that there is enough clearance to accommodate any interface equipment that you will connect directly to the module ports. If possible, place modules between empty slots that contain only module filler plates.
Step 3 Verify that the captive installation screws are tightened on all modules installed in the chassis.
This action ensures that the EMI gaskets on all modules are fully compressed to maximize the opening space for the replacement module.
Note If the captive installation screws are loose, the EMI gaskets on the installed modules will push adjacent modules toward the open slot, reducing the opening size and making it difficult to install the replacement module.
Step 4 Remove the module filler plate by removing the two Phillips
Step 5 Fully open both ejector levers on the new or replacement module. (See Figure 2.)
