Chapter 10 Installing or Replacing Components
Replacing a Supervisor Module
To add 4 GB of memory to the supervisor modules, follow these steps:
Step 1
Follow ESD procedures, which include wearing an ESD wrist strap and placing antistatic foam or
antistatic padding where you will place the supervisor module while working with it.
Step 2
Disconnect the cables attached to the front of the module to be removed. If there are two supervisors in
the switch, disconnect the cables from the standby supervisor.
Note
If the chassis has two supervisor modules and you disconnect the active supervisor module, that
supervisor goes into standby mode and the other supervisor becomes the active supervisor.
Step 3
Loosen and fully unscrew both captive screws on the module.
Step 4
Press both ejector release buttons on the ends of the module (see Callout 2 in
Figure 10-5 on page 10-18
)
to push out the ejector levers and to disconnect the module.
Note
If you stop this procedure at this point without removing the module and need to power it up,
simultaneously press both ejector levers back to the face of the module until they click, secure
both of the module captive screws to the chassis, and then use the
no poweroff module
slot_number
command to power up the module.
Step 5
Simultaneously rotate the two ejector levers outward to unseat the module from the midplane connector
(see Callout 3 in
Figure 10-5 on page 10-18
).
Step 6
With a hand on each ejector lever, pull the module part way out of its slot in the chassis.
Step 7
Grasp the front edge of the module with one hand and place your other hand under the lower side of the
module to support its weight. Pull the module out of its slot.
Caution
To prevent ESD damage, avoid touching the electronic circuitry and prevent anything else from coming
in contact with its circuitry.
Step 8
If you are removing the module from a Cisco 7010 chassis, rotate the module 90 degrees
counterclockwise so that it is horizontal and you can see the circuitry from above.
Step 9
On the second memory slot from the front of the module, rotate both spring clips away from the slot (see
Callout 1 in
Figure 10-9
).
