overheating.
Replacing a Versatile Interface Module, Solid-state Drive, or Clock
Module in an X460-G2 Series or X465 Series Switch
This section describes how to replace versatile interface modules (VIMs) or a clock module in the rear
slot of an X460-G2 switch, or VIM5 in the front and SSD in the rear slot of an X465 switch.
Note
Clock module ports are output ports; clock module ports are not to be used as input ports.
You need the following tools and materials to install a VIM or clock module:
• ESD-preventive wrist strap
• #2 Phillips screwdriver
Caution
VIMs, SSDs, and clock modules are not hot-swappable. Disconnect power to the switch
before removing an installed VIM, SSD, or clock module or installing a new one.
The replacement procedure is the same for all X460-G2 VIMs and clock modules, and all X465 VIM5s
and SSDs, with the exception that the VIMs and SSDs use slotted retaining screws and the clock module
uses Phillips retaining screws.
