6 Replacing a management module NOTE When a management switches over from active (remove active) to standby, it will send out the syslog messages or traps such as PSU failure or LP/SNM removal. This section provides information about the following tasks: • Removing a management module • Installing a new management module Removing a management module You can remove a management module while the BigIron RX Series chassis is powered on and running. NOTE Before removing and replacing an active or standby management module, you need to understand how these actions affect management module redundancy. Before removing a management module from the BigIron RX Series chassis, have the following on hand: • An ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to the ESD connector on the BigIron RX Series chassis. DANGER For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a 1 meg ohm series resistor. • A large flat-head screwdriver. Follow the steps given below to remove a management module from the BigIron RX Series chassis. 1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by inserting the plug into the ESD connector located on the chassis front. 2. Using the flathead screwdriver if necessary, loosen the two screws on the ends of the module. 3. Pull the card ejectors towards you, and away from the module front panel. This action unseats the module from the backplane. 4. Pull the module out of the chassis, and place in an anti-static bag for storage if desired. 5. Install a new module in the slot. For information about performing this task, refer to "Installing a new management module". CAUTION If you do not install a module in a slot, you must keep the slot blank in place. If you run the chassis with an uncovered slot, the system may overheat. 138 BigIron RX Installation Guide 53-1001811-01
