Replacing a switch fabric module

Complete the following steps to insert the SFM.

1. Unpack the new SFM and remove it from the anti-static bag.

2. Inspect the module for damage.

3. Remove the protective caps from the backplane connectors.

4. Unscrew the power enable pin, pull it outward, and move the slider toward the center of the

module face.

5. Open the ejectors on the new SFM by rotating them toward the center of the module face.

Orient the switch fabric module so that the ejectors are toward you.

6. Align the module pan with the guides in the slot. The first SFM should be installed in slot S1.

7. Push the SFM firmly into the slot.

ejectors seats the module in the slot.
