Installing a Switching Fabric Module
To install a Switching Fabric Module:
1. Slide the Switching Fabric Module all the way into the slot, firmly but gently pressing
to ensure that the pins on the back of the module are completely seated in the
backplane.
Note:
Make sure the circuit card (and not the metal plate) is between the card
guides. Check both the upper and lower tracks.
2. Tighten the captive screws on each side of the Switching Fabric Module to secure it to
the chassis.
