3.3.6 Installing the Switching Fabric Module (RS 8600 only)
On the RS 8600, the switching fabric module is shipped separately from the RS chassis. The primary switching fabric
module must be installed in slot Fabric 1. The redundant switching fabric module must be installed in slot Fabric 2.
To install or replace the primary switching fabric module, or if you want to install a redundant switching fabric module,
use the following procedure. You will need a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver to perform this procedure.
1.
If a cover plate is installed over the switching fabric module slot (slot Fabric 1 or Fabric 2), use the
#2 Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the cover plate.
2.
Slide the switching fabric module all the way into the slot, firmly but gently pressing to ensure that
the pins on the back of the module are completely seated in the backplane.
Note
Make sure the circuit board (and not the metal plate) is between the card guides,
as shown in Figure 3-8. Check both the upper and lower tracks.
3.
Lock down the left and right metal tabs to secure the switching fabric module to the chassis.
4.
Use the #2 Phillips-head screwdriver to tighten the captive screws on each side of the switching
fabric to secure the switching fabric to the chassis.
