2.2.4 Installing the TSM with CPU Daughter Board
Follow these instructions to install the TSM/CPU module into the chassis.
1. Make sure that the TSM has a CPU daughter board installed (see Figure 2-6).
2. Remove the metal blank that covers either slot 7 or slot 8 of the chassis (TSMs with CPU daughter
cards can reside only in slots 7 and 8). See the legend on the top edge of the SmartSwitch 6500
chassis.
3. Open the ejectors at the top and bottom of the TSM/CPU module.
4. With the ejector labeled 6A-TSM512 at the top, align the top and bottom of the TSM/CPU module
with the tracks in the slot (see Figure 2-7).
5. Slide the TSM/CPU module into the chassis. The TSM module obscures the view of the tracks at the
bottom of the chassis, so be sure to look at that area as you begin to slide the module into the chassis.
6. Close the ejectors. The installation is complete.
If you have a second TSM/CPU modules, repeat steps 1 through 6.
