Chapter 2 Installing the Network Analysis Module
Installing and Removing the NAM
This section describes how to install and verify the operation of the NAM in the Catalyst 6500 series
switch, Catalyst 6000 series switch, and Cisco 7600 series router and contains the following sections:
• Slot Assignments, page 2-4
• Removing a Module, page 2-4
• Installing a Module, page 2-5
• Verifying the Installation, page 2-12
Slot Assignments
The Catalyst 6006 and 6506 switch chassis have 6 slots, the Catalyst 6009 and 6509 switch chassis have
9 slots, and the Catalyst 6513 switch chassis has 13 slots. The module can occupy any slot in the
Catalyst 6500 series switch, and Catalyst 6000 series switch or Cisco 7600 series router that is not
occupied by a supervisor engine.
Note The Catalyst 6509-NEB switch has vertical slots numbered 1 to 9 from right to left. Install the modules
with the component side facing to the right.
Make sure that you install switching-module filler plates, which are blank switching-module carriers, in
the empty slots to maintain consistent airflow through the switch chassis.
Removing a Module
This section describes how to remove an existing module from a chassis slot.
Caution During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card. Do not directly
touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself.
Warning Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into
beams or view directly with optical instruments.
To remove a supervisor engine or module from the chassis, perform these steps:
Step 1 Disconnect any network interface cables attached to the supervisor engine or module.
Note The NAM does not have any interface cable connections.
Step 2 Verify that the captive installation screws on all of the modules in the chassis are tight.
This action ensures that the space created by the removed module is maintained.
Note If the captive installation screws are loose, the electromagnetic interference (EMI) gaskets on
the installed modules will push the modules toward the open slot, reducing the opening size and
making it difficult to install the replacement module.
