Step 2 Reseat the module until both ejector levers are at 90 degrees to the rear of the chassis.
Step 3 Tighten the captive screws at the left and right of the module front panel.
Step 4 Restart the system.
If the Status LED on a switching module is orange, the module might be busy or disabled. Refer to the
following website for the latest Cisco MDS 9000 Family configuration guides to configure or enable the
interfaces:
