Verifying Switch Chassis Installation
To verify the switch chassis installation, follow these steps:
Step 1 Verify that the ejector levers of each module are fully closed (parallel to the faceplate) to ensure that the
supervisor engine and all switching modules are fully seated in the backplane connectors.
Step 2 Check the captive installation screws of each module, the power supply, and the fan assembly. Tighten
any loose captive installation screws.
Step 3 Verify that all empty module slots have blank faceplates (WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR) installed and that the
screws holding the plates in place are tight. The blank faceplates optimize the air flow through the
chassis.
Warning
Blank faceplates and cover 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, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place.
Statement 1029
Step 4 Turn on the power supply switches to power up the system. During the power-up sequence, the system
performs a series of bootup diagnostic tests.
Step 5 (Optional) Additional system diagnostic tests are available. These tests allow you to perform a complete
sanity check on the system prior to inserting the system into your network and to monitor the health of
the system while the system is running. Refer to the “Online Diagnostics” section on page 3-36 for
further information.
Tip When pre-staging systems in a nonproduction environment, we recommend that you run all
diagnostic tests, including the disruptive tests, to pre-screen the systems for any failures.
