Installing and Removing the Supervisor Engine
Step 9 Using the thumb and forefinger of each hand, simultaneously pivot in both ejector levers to fully seat the
supervisor engine in the backplane connector.
Caution Always use the ejector levers when installing or removing a supervisor engine. A supervisor engine that
is partially seated in the backplane will not function correctly.
Step 10 Use a screwdriver to tighten the captive installation screws on each end of the supervisor engine
faceplate.
To check the status of the module, perform these steps:
Step 1 Ensure that the LED labeled Status is green (module operational).
Step 2 When the switch is online, enter the show module command. Verify that the system acknowledges the
new module and that the module status is good.
Step 3 If the module is not operational, reseat it. If the module is still not operational, contact your customer
service representative.
