Statement 341 To install a switching or services module in the chassis, follow these steps: Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Before installing any modules in the chassis, Cisco recommends installing the chassis in the rack. See the "Installing the Chassis in a Cabinet or Rack" section on page 2-6. Before installing any switching modules, install at least one supervisor module. Choose a slot for the module and verify that there is enough clearance to accommodate any cables or interface equipment that you want to connect to the module. If possible, place modules between empty slots that contain filler panels. 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. OL-17467-02 Cisco MDS 9500 Series Hardware Installation Guide 2-45

Chapter 2
Installing the Cisco MDS 9500 Series
Removing, Installing, and Verifying Supervisor, Switching, and Services Modules
Removing Other Switching and Services Modules
To remove a switching or services module from the chassis, follow these steps:
Step 1
Disconnect any network interface cables attached to the module.
Step 2
Loosen the two captive screws on the module being removed.
Step 3
Remove the module from the chassis as follows:
a.
Place your thumbs on the left and right ejector levers and simultaneously rotate the levers outward
to unseat the module from the backplane connector.
b.
Grasp the front edge of the module and slide the module partially out of the slot. Place your other
hand under the module to support the weight of the module. Do not touch the module circuitry.
Step 4
Place the module on an antistatic mat or antistatic foam, or immediately reinstall it in another slot.
Step 5
If the slot will remain empty, install a filler panel to keep the chassis dust-free and to maintain proper
airflow through the chassis.
Warning
Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure
to hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic
interference (EMI) that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling
air through the chassis. Do not operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers,
and rear covers are in place.
Statement 1029
Installing a Switching or Services Module, Including Caching Services
Modules
The following warning applies only to the Caching Services Module:
Warning
Do not touch or bridge the metal contacts on the battery. Unintentional discharge of the batteries can
cause serious burns.
Statement 341
To install a switching or services module in the chassis, follow these steps:
Step 1
Before installing any modules in the chassis, Cisco recommends installing the chassis in the rack. See
the
“Installing the Chassis in a Cabinet or Rack” section on page 2-6
.
Step 2
Before installing any switching modules, install at least one supervisor module.
Step 3
Choose a slot for the module and verify that there is enough clearance to accommodate any cables or
interface equipment that you want to connect to the module. If possible, place modules between empty
slots that contain filler panels.
Step 4
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.
