Chapter 2 Installing the Network Analysis Module
Installing and Removing the NAM
Step 3 Loosen the two captive installation screws on the supervisor engine or module.
Step 4 Depending on the orientation of the slots in the chassis (horizontal or vertical), perform one of the
following sets of steps:
Horizontal slots
a. Place your thumbs on the left and right ejector levers, and simultaneously rotate the levers outward
to unseat the module from the backplane connector.
b. Grasp the front edge of the module and slide the module part of the way out of the slot. Place your
other hand under the module to support the weight of the module. Do not touch the module circuitry.
Vertical slots
a. Place your thumbs on the ejector levers located at the top and bottom of the module, and
simultaneously rotate the levers outward to unseat the module from the backplane connector.
b. Grasp the edges of the module, and slide the module straight out of the slot. Do not touch the module
circuitry.
Step 5 Place the module on an antistatic mat or antistatic foam, or immediately reinstall it in another slot.
Step 6 If the slot is to remain empty, install a module filler plate to keep dust out of the chassis and to maintain
proper airflow through the chassis.
Warning Blank faceplates (filler panels) serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous
voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might
disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate
the system unless all cards and faceplates are in place.
Installing a Module
This section describes how to install modules in the Catalyst 6500 series switch, Catalyst 6000 series
switch, or Cisco 7600 series router.
Caution To prevent ESD damage, handle modules by the carrier edges only.
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.
