Replacing or Installing Expansion Modules
You can either replace existing expansion modules or install new ones where expansion modules are not
installed. If you are replacing a module, you need to follow the procedures that explain how to remove and
install expansion modules. If you are installing an expansion module, you need to follow only the installation
procedure.
To prevent ESD damage, wear grounding wrist straps during these procedures. When handling the expansion
modules, handle them only on their carrier edges.
Caution
Install the Cisco UCS 6200 Series Fabric Interconnect chassis in the rack before installing expansion modules.
For information about installing the chassis, see Installing the Cisco UCS 6248 UP Chassis in a Cabinet or
Rack, on page 25.
Note
The expansion module is hot-pluggable, which means that it can be removed or installed without powering
down a Cisco UCS 6200 Series Fabric Interconnect.
Note
Removing an Expansion Module
Procedure
Step 1 Ensure that the system (earth) ground connection has been made.
Step 2 Disconnect any network interface cables attached to the module.
Step 3 Loosen the captive screw on the module.
Step 4 Remove the module from the chassis by grasping the handle on the right side of the module and sliding the
module part of the way out of the slot. Place your other hand under the module to support the weight of it.
Do not touch the module circuitry.
