Installing the Wireless LAN Services Module
Note Before installing the Wireless LAN Services Module, you must install the Catalyst 6500 series switch chassis and at least one supervisor engine. For information on installing the switch chassis, refer to the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Installation Guide.
This section describes how to install the Wireless LAN Services Module into the Catalyst 6500 series switch.
Note All modules, including the supervisor engine (if you have redundant supervisor engines), support hot swapping. You can add, replace, or remove modules without interrupting the system power or causing other software or interfaces to shut down. For more information about hot-swapping modules, refer to the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Module Installation Guide.
|
Warning During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card. Do not directly touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself. Statement 94
|
To install the Wireless LAN Services Module into the Catalyst 6500 series switch, perform these steps:
Step 1 Make sure that you take the necessary precautions to prevent ESD damage.
Step 2 Choose a slot for the Wireless LAN Services Module. See Figure 2 for the slot numbers on a Catalyst 6500 series switch.
Figure 2 Slot Numbers on Catalyst 6500 Series Switches
Step 3 Check that there is enough clearance to accommodate any interface equipment that you will be connecting directly to the supervisor engine or switching module ports.
Note If possible, place switching modules between the empty slots that contain only switching-module filler plates (Cisco part number 800-00292-01).
|
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 4 Loosen the captive installation screws that secure the switching module filler plate (or an existing switching module) to the desired slot.
Step 5 Remove the switching module filler plate (or an existing switching module).
Step 6 Hold the handle of the Wireless LAN Services Module with one hand, and place your other hand under the carrier support. Do not touch the printed circuit boards or connector pins.
Step 7 Place the Wireless LAN Services Module in the slot. Align the notch on the sides of the switching module carrier with the groove in the slot. (See Figure 3.)
Step 8 Keep the Wireless LAN Services Module at a 90-degree angle to the backplane and carefully slide the Wireless LAN Services Module into the slot until the switching module faceplate contacts the ejector levers. (See Figure 4.)
Step 9 Using the thumb and forefinger of each hand, simultaneously push in the left and right levers to fully seat the Wireless LAN Services Module in the backplane connector.
Caution
Always use the ejector levers when installing or removing the Wireless LAN Services Module. A module that is partially seated in the backplane will cause the system to halt and subsequently crash.
Note If you perform a hot swap, the console displays the message "Module n has been inserted." This message does not appear if you are connected to the Catalyst 6500 series switch through a Telnet session.
Step 10 Use a screwdriver to tighten the captive installation screws on the left and right ends of the Wireless LAN Services Module.
