Director
Note Do not upgrade to NX-OS 4.1(1b) if a Supervisor-1 module is installed.
To use any Generation 3 8-Gbps module in an MDS 9509 Director or MDS 9506 Director, follow these
steps:
Step 1 Log in to the switch.
Step 2 Verify that the switch is running Cisco NX-OS 4.1(1b) by entering the show version command.
If the switch has NX-OS 4.x or higher installed, then Supervisor-2 module is already installed on the
switch. Skip to step 7 to install any Generation 3 8-Gbps module.
Step 3 Enter the show module command to determine which supervisor module is in active mode and which is
in standby module. Supervisor modules are installed in slot 5 and slot 6 on the MDS 9509 Director and
MDS 9506 Director.
The following example shows the output of the show module command:
switch# show module

Step 4 If the switch has Supervisor-1 modules installed, remove the modules according to the instructions in
the
“Removing Supervisor Modules” section on page 2-39. If the switch has Supervisor-2 modules
installed, then skip to Step 6.
