Align the rails on the top of the module to the track on
the top of the open slot.
4Unscrew 2 captive screws (1 on each ejector handle).1
Align the bottom of the module so that it slides into
the tracks on the bottom of the open slot.
5Rotate both ejector handles away from the front of
the module.
2
Slide the module all the way into the slot.6Be sure that the locking posts fully rotate down into
the module

Step 3
Fit the guide rails on the top of the module into the track on the top of the slot and make sure that the guide bar on the
bottom of the module goes into the module guide at the bottom of the slot.
Be sure that you are installing the fabric module in a supported fabric module slot. The supported fabric module slots
differ depending on the number of fabric modules installed in the switch as listed below.
•
For three modules, they must be in slots FM 2, FM 4, and FM 6.
•
For four modules, they must be in slots FM 2, FM 3, FM 4, and FM 6.
•
For five modules, they can be in slots FM 1, FM 2, FM 3, FM 4, and FM 6. Alternatively, they can be in slots FM2,
FM3, FM4, FM5, and FM6.
•
For six modules, they will be in slots FM 1, FM 2, FM 3, FM 4, FM 5, and FM 6.
Step 4
Slide the module all the way into the slot.
Step 5
Rotate both ejector levers to the front of the chassis and be sure that the module is locked to the top and bottom of the
slot.
Step 6
Screw in the captive screw on each of the two levers so that each lever is locked in place on the module. Tighten each
screw to 8 in-lb (0.9 N·m) of torque.
Step 7
Power up the fabric module as follows:
a) Enter the poweroff module command. Input a slot number between 21 and 26 (labelled as FM 1 through FM 6 on
the chassis).
b) Verify that the Fabric LED for the slot that you specified turns on.
If you did not use the poweroff module command to shut down the original fabric module before removing it,
do not use the no poweroff module command (the module will begin to power up as soon as you connect it
to an AC power source and the chassis).
Note
Step 8
Reinstall the fan module over the replaced fabric module by following these steps:
a) Use both of your hands to hold the two handles on the front of the fan tray that you are installing.
