Overview

How to remove a supervisor module from the C9610R chassis.

Follow these steps to remove a supervisor engine from a C9610R chassis.

Warning

Statement 1051—Laser Radiation

Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments.

Caution

To prevent ESD damage, handle the supervisor engine by the carrier edges only.

Follow this procedure to remove a supervisor engine from the C9610R chassis. This procedure is the same for both the supported supervisor engine modules.

Before you begin

The supervisor engine modules are very heavy and must be handled carefully; if dropped, it can hurt the user.

  • You will need a slot blank cover (C9610-SUP-BLANK=) if the slot is to remain empty.

  • Install dust plugs into the transceiver’s optical bores if the module is equipped with removable optical transceivers. This prevents possible dust contamination, which can affect port performance.

  • Take necessary precautions to prevent ESD damage. Wear a grounded ESD wrist strap while handling the modules.

Procedure

1.

Hold the ejector lever on both sides and push the levers in, towards the faceplate to push the supervisor engine a bit inward.

While pressing the ejector levers, press the buttons on the left and right ejector handles to unlock the levers.

3.

Disengage the supervisor engine from the backplane connector and pull out the supervisor engine using the ejector lever handles. Carefully slide the supervisor engine out of the slot.​

Halfway through pulling out the supervisor engine the left and right slot guides will be visible. Hold these slot guides on both sides and carefully slide the supervisor engine out of the slot.

4.

Place the supervisor engine on an antistatic mat or in an antistatic bag.

5.

Install a replacement supervisor engine after a 15-second wait. Alternatively, if the supervisor slot should remain empty, install a blank slot cover (C9610-SUP-BLANK=).

Blanks should only be removed when installing a module and must be replaced if a module is ever removed. A syslog message is generated every 5 minutes when an empty slot is detected. You must insert a module or a slot blank to avoid chassis overheating.

Warning

Statement 1029—Blank Faceplates and Cover Panels

Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they reduce the risk of electric shock and fire, 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.
