Figure3-4 Installing a switching fabric module
Installing interface modules or firewall modules
The firewall modules and interface modules are not hot swappable. To install a firewall module
or interface module on the device, first install it on an interface switch module and then install
the interface switch module on the device.
If you are not to install an interface module or firewall module in a slot on an interface switch
module, keep the filler panel in the slot.
The procedure is the same for installing an interface module or firewall module on an interface
switch module. The following installs a firewall module.
To install an interface module on an interface switch module:
1. Remove the filler panel from the target slot. Put your forefinger and thumb into the hole of the
filler panel, press the metal tab in the left hole, and then pull the filler panel out.
2. Open the ejector lever on the interface module and then push the module slowly into the slot
along the guide rails until you cannot push it any further.
3. Close the ejector lever until the latch locks the ejector lever in place.
