Appendix F
Maintenance and Field Replacement
This appendix describes the process for replacing switch components.
The following topics are covered in this section:
• Line Card and Supervisor Extraction Tools
• Power Supplies
• Fabric and Fan Module (Fabric Module)
• Fan Module (within Fabric Module)
• Supervisor Module
• Line Cards
You must ensure that at least one of the secondary grounding pads located on the front panel of
the chassis is connected to the data center ground. While working on the switches, use grounded,
anti-static wrist straps connected to one of the attach points on the switch for grounding yourself and
preventing ESD damage to the switch.
Note: Illustrations in this appendix are examples for a representative switch and component(s).
Procedures must be applied to component(s) supported by the specific device. You must use
component(s) and the appropriate slots for those component(s) when replacing or adding them.
Inspect the connectors for damage prior to installing components into the chassis.
