Module LEDs
Table 9 lists the E-series module front panel LEDs and their meanings.
Note Non-PoE modules do not have the POE LED.
The STATUS LED indicates the results of a series of self-tests and diagnostic tests performed by the switch.
Green—All diagnostics pass, the module is operational.
Orange—The module is booting or running diagnostics or the module is disabled.
Red—A test other than an individual port test has failed. On some modules, this LED turns red immediately after the system is powered on, until the software boot-up process begins.
The LINK or port number LED indicates the status of the individual port.
Green—The port is active (the link is connected and operational).
Off—No signal is detected or when the port is disabled.
Flashing orange—The link is disabled due to a hardware failure.
Modules that support PoE3 have an LED that indicates status of the PoE circuitry.

Either 10GBASE-X using SFP+ transceivers or 1000BASE-X using SFP transceivers. Both types of transceivers can be used simultaneously without restriction.
Either 10GBASE-X X2 transceivers or 1000BASE-X using SFP transceivers with a TwinGig Converter Module4. Both types of transceivers can be used simultaneously without restriction.
For a complete up-to-date list of supported transceiver types and their software support requirements for each module, refer to the transceiver compatibility matrices at the following url:

Safety
Safety warnings appear throughout this publication in procedures that may harm you if performed incorrectly or are ignored. A warning symbol precedes each warning statement.
Statement 1071—Warning Definition
Module Installation
This section describes how to install the switching modules in Catalyst 4500 series switch chassis.
Warning Hazardous voltage or energy is present on the backplane when the system is operating. Use caution when servicing. Statement 1034
Required Tools
You will need these tools to install or remove supervisor engines and switching modules in the Catalyst 4500 series switches:
Installing the Modules
Warning Hazardous voltage or energy is present on the backplane when the system is operating. Use caution when servicing. Statement 1034
Warning Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments. Statement 1051
To install modules in a Catalyst 4500 series switch, follow these steps:
Step 1 Take the necessary precautions to prevent ESD damage. Wear a grounded ESD wrist strap while handling the modules, and keep them in ESD-protective bags when they are not installed in a chassis.
Step 2 Choose a slot for the new module.
Verify that you have enough clearance for any interface equipment that you are connecting directly to the switching module ports.
Step 3 Loosen the captive installation screws that secure the existing module or the blank module filler plate in the slot you want to use.
Step 4 Remove the existing module and immediately place it on an antistatic mat or in an antistatic bag. If you are removing a blank module filler plate, set the blank module filler plate aside for future use.
Note To ensure the proper air flow and to maintain EMI protection, make sure that there is a blank module filler plate (C4K-SLOT-CVR-E) installed in any unused chassis slot. If a chassis slot are left open, air circulation is disrupted and the fans may not be able to adequately cool the other modules in the chassis.
Step 5 Remove the new module from its packaging being careful to handle the module using only the module’s metal tray or the front panel. Do not touch the printed circuit board or the connector pins.
Step 6 Position the module in front of the chassis slot and align the edges of the module carrier with the slot guides on the sides of the switch chassis. (See Figure 1.)
Figure 1 Installing the Module in the Chassis
Step 7 Pivot the two module ejector levers out away from the module faceplate.
Step 8 Carefully slide the module into the slot until the notches on both ejector levers engage the chassis sides (the ejector levers start to pivot in towards the faceplate).
Step 9 Using your thumb and forefinger of each hand, simultaneously pivot in both ejector levers, as shown in Figure 2, to fully seat the module in the backplane connector.
Figure 2 Module Ejector Lever Operation
Caution Always use the ejector levers when installing or removing modules. A module that is only partially seated in the backplane causes the system to halt or subsequently crash. Further, an improperly seated module may also prevent the system from booting properly.
Note If you perform a hot swap, the console displays the message “Module n has been inserted.” This message also appears if you are connected to the Catalyst 4500 series switch through a Telnet session.
Step 10 Use a screwdriver to tighten the captive installation screw on each end of the module faceplate (see Figure 2).
Step 11 Install any necessary transceivers in the module ports. Installation instructions along with safety warnings for the various types of transceivers can be found at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/modules/ps5455/prod_installation_guides_list.html
Step 12 Attach any necessary network interface cables or other devices to the interface ports.
Step 13 Check the status of the module as follows:
a. Ensure that the LED labeled STATUS is green (module operational).
b. When the switch is on line, enter the show module command. Verify that the system acknowledges the new module and that the module status is good.
Step 14 If the module is not operational, try reseating it in the slot. If the module is still not operational, contact your customer representative.
Removing the Modules
Warning Hazardous voltage or energy is present on the backplane when the system is operating. Use caution when servicing. Statement 1034
Warning Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments. Statement 1051
You will need a blank module filler plate (C4K-SLOT-CVR-E) if the module slot is to remain empty.
To remove a switching module from a Catalyst 4500 series switch, follow these steps:
Step 1 Disconnect any network interface cables attached to the module ports.
Step 2 If the module is equipped with removable optical transceivers, immediately install dust plugs into the transceiver’s optical bores. This prevents possible dust contamination, which can affect port performance.
Step 3 With a Phillips screwdriver, completely loosen the two captive screws located at each end of the module faceplate.
Step 4 Grasp the left and right ejector levers and simultaneously pivot the levers outward to eject the module from the backplane connector.
Step 5 Grasp the module front panel with one hand, and place your other hand under the module (on the metal carrier) to support and guide it out of the slot. Do not touch the printed circuit boards or connector pins.
Step 6 Pull the module straight out of the slot, keeping one hand under the module to support it.
Step 7 Immediately place the removed module on an antistatic mat, in an antistatic bag, or install it in another slot.
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
Step 8 If the slot is to remain empty, install a blank module filler plate (C4K-SLOT-CVR-E) to keep dust out of the chassis, maintain proper airflow through the chassis, preserve electromagnetic interference (EMI) integrity, and to prevent exposure to high current inside the chassis.
