• Manual torque screwdrivers are recommended. Be sure to never exceed the recommended torque
setting for the screw that you are working with.
• Replacement supervisor module.
Step 1 Before installing any modules in the chassis, we recommend that you install the chassis in the rack. See the Installing
the Cisco MDS 9700 Series Switch on a Four-Post Rack or Cabinet.
Step 2 Verify that there is enough clearance to accommodate any cables or interface equipment that you want to connect to
the module.
Step 3 Verify that the captive screws are tightened to 8 in-lb on all modules already installed in the chassis. This ensures that
the EMI gaskets are fully compressed and maximizes the opening space for the module being installed.
Step 4 If a filler panel is installed, remove the Phillips pan-head screw from the filler panel and remove the panel. To remove
a currently installed module, see the “Removing a Switching Module” section.
Step 5 Open the ejector lever on the new or replacement module by pressing on the ejector button. Allow the ejector to open
fully (see Callout 1 in the following figure).
Figure 44: Positioning a Half-width Supervisor Module to its Slot
Push the module all the way into the slot (until
it stops and the front is about 1/4 inch in front
of the chassis).
3Rotate the handle fully away from the front of
the module.
1
Align the bottom of the module to the module
guides in the slot.
2
Step 6 Rotate the end of the handle away from the front of the module until it stops (see Callout 1 in the previous figure).
Step 7 With one hand under the supervisor module and the other hand holding the module by its front, align the rear of the
module to the open supervisor slot.
Step 8 Slide the module onto the guides inside the slot and push the module fully into the slot until you cannot push the module
further.
The front of the module should be about 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) in front of the chassis.
