Installing and Removing Ethernet Switching Modules
Installing an Ethernet Switching Module
The C6800-32P10G-XL Ethernet module illustrations are shown here as examples; the same installation
procedure applies to other modules.
Before You Begin
Verify the following:
•
That the two slots adjacent to the slot where you are installing the module have either a module installed
in them or a switching-module filler plate installed (Cisco part numbers SLOTBLANK-09 or
WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR-E) if either slot is unused. If either slot has a blank slot cover (Cisco part number
WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR), you need to remove the blank slot cover and replace it with a switching-module
filler plate for NEBS compliance.
•
That there is enough clearance to accommodate any interface equipment, such as pluggable transceivers,
installed directly on the module ports. If possible, install modules between empty slots that contain only
module filler plates.
•
That you have adequate cable guides installed on the chassis to accept the additional network interface
cables for the new module.
•
That the captive installation screws are tightened on all modules installed in the chassis.
