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

To install a supervisor engine in a Catalyst 4503 switch, follow this procedure:

Step 1 Take the necessary precautions to prevent ESD damage.

Step 2 Ensure that you have enough clearance to accommodate any interface equipment that you will connect

directly to the supervisor engine ports.

Step 3 Loosen the captive installation screws that secure the switching-module filler plate or the existing

supervisor engine (whichever is present), and remove it.

Step 4 Remove the supervisor engine filler plate or the existing supervisor engine from slot 1. If a switching

module filler plate was installed, save it for future use. If you are removing an existing supervisor engine,

see the “Removing the Supervisor Engine” section on page 13.

Step 5 To install the new supervisor engine, grasp the switching module front panel with one hand and place

your other hand under the carrier to support the supervisor engine, as shown in Figure 2. Do not touch

the printed circuit boards or connector pins.

Step 6 Align the edges of the supervisor engine carrier with the slot guides on the sides of the switch chassis,

as shown in Figure 2.
