Cisco Catalyst C9300-48T

Unlike other network modules, the C9300-NM-8X cannot be fully inserted and secured until the jackscrew
is properly tightened.
1. Push the module into the uplink slot until the jackscrew connects with the rightmost tab.
2. You will feel some light resistance, because a spring-loaded tab inside the slot will push back against the
C9300-NM-8X module
3. Continue to tighten the jackscrew while gently pushing the front panel of the network module into the
slot.
Note
Procedure
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to an earth ground surface.
Step 2 Remove the module from the protective packaging.
Step 3 Remove the blank module from the switch and save it.
Verify the correct orientation of your module before installing it. Incorrect installation can damage
the module.
Caution
Do not install the network module with connected cables or installed SFP/SFP+/SFP28 modules.
Always remove any cables and modules before you install the network module.
Caution
A module interface might become error-disabled when a network module with connected fiber-optic
cables is installed or removed. If an interface is error-disabled, you can reenable the interface by
using the shutdown and no shutdown interface configuration commands.
Caution
Step 4 Position the module face up to install it in the module slot. Slide the module into the slot until the back of the
module faceplate is flush with the switch faceplate. Fasten the captive screws to secure the network module
in place.
