Chapter 3 Installing the Module
Removing the Supervisor Engine or a Switching Module
Tip When you install a new supervisor engine, check the factory default
configuration; you might need to reconfigure the system to your requirements.
You can reconfigure the supervisor engine manually, or if you previously
uploaded the original configuration to a server, you can download it to the new
supervisor engine. Refer to the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Software
Configuration Guide or to the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Cisco IOS Software
Configuration Guide for additional information.
This section describes how to remove an existing module from a chassis slot.
Caution During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the
module.
Warning Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or
connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments.
Statement 1051
To remove a supervisor engine or module from the chassis, perform these steps:
Step 1 Disconnect any network interface cables attached to the supervisor engine or
module.
Step 2 Verify that the captive installation screws on all of the modules in the chassis are
tight. This step ensures that the space created by the removed module is
maintained.
Note If the captive installation screws are loose, the EMI gaskets on the
installed modules will push the modules toward the open slot, reducing
the opening size and making it difficult to install the replacement module.
