Safety Warnings

Safety warnings appear throughout this publication in procedures that may harm you if you perform them incorrectly. A warning symbol precedes each warning statement. The warnings below are general warnings that are applicable to the entire publication.

Warning

Class 1 laser product. Statement 1008

Warning

Read the installation instructions before connecting the system to the power source. Statement 1004

Warning

Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment. Statement 1030

Warning

Before opening the unit, disconnect the telephone-network cables to avoid contact with telephone-network voltages. Statement 1041

Warning

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. Statement 94

Warning

Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments. Statement 1051

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage may occur when modules or other FRUs are improperly handled, and result in intermittent or complete failure of the modules or FRUs. Modules consist of printed circuit boards that are fixed in metal carriers. EMI shielding and connectors are integral components of a carrier. Although the metal carrier helps to protect the board from ESD, always use an ESD-grounding strap when handling modules. To prevent ESD damage, follow these guidelines:

- Always use an ESD wrist strap and ensure that it has maximum contact with bare skin. ESD grounding straps are available with banana plugs, metal spring clips, or alligator clips. The chassis is equipped with a banana plug connector (identified by the ground symbol next to the connector) on the front panel.

- If you choose to use the disposable ESD wrist strap supplied with most FRUs or an ESD wrist strap equipped with an alligator clip, you must attach the system ground lug to the chassis in order to provide a proper grounding point for the ESD wrist strap.

Establishing System Ground

To attach the grounding lug and cable to the grounding pad, perform these steps

Before You Begin
To connect the system ground, you require the following tools and materials:

- Grounding lug—A two-hole right-angled lug. Supports up to 6 AWG wire. Supplied as part of accessory kit.

- Grounding screws—Two M4 x 8 mm (metric) pan-head screws. Supplied as part of the accessory kit.

- Grounding wire—Not supplied as part of accessory kit. The grounding wire should be sized according to local and national installation requirements. Depending on the power supply and system, a 12 to 6 AWG copper conductor is required for U.S. installations. Commercially available 6-AWG wire is recommended. The length of the grounding wire depends on the proximity of the switch to proper grounding facilities.

- No. 1 Phillips screwdriver.

- Crimping tool to crimp the grounding wire to the grounding lug.

- Wire-stripping tool to remove the insulation from the grounding wire.

SUMMARY STEPS

1.    Use a wire-stripping tool to remove approximately 0.75 inches (19 mm) of the covering from the end of the grounding wire.

2.    Insert the stripped end of the grounding wire into the open end of the right-angled grounding lug.

3.    Crimp the grounding wire in the barrel of the grounding lug. Verify that the ground wire is securely attached to the ground lug.

4.    Secure the grounding lug to the system ground connector with two M4 screws. Ensure that the grounding lug and the grounding wire do not interfere with other switch hardware or rack equipment.

5.    Prepare the other end of the grounding wire, and connect it to an appropriate grounding point in your site to ensure adequate earth ground for the switch.

DETAILED STEPS

Step 1

Use a wire-stripping tool to remove approximately 0.75 inches (19 mm) of the covering from the end of the grounding wire.

Step 2

Insert the stripped end of the grounding wire into the open end of the right-angled grounding lug.

Step 3

Crimp the grounding wire in the barrel of the grounding lug. Verify that the ground wire is securely attached to the ground lug.

Step 4

Secure the grounding lug to the system ground connector with two M4 screws. Ensure that the grounding lug and the grounding wire do not interfere with other switch hardware or rack equipment.

Attaching an ESD Strap

After you install the system ground lug, follow these steps to correctly attach the ESD wrist strap:

SUMMARY STEPS

1.    Attach the ESD wrist strap to bare skin as follows:

2.    Grasp the spring or alligator clip on the ESD wrist strap and momentarily touch the clip to a bare metal spot (unpainted surface) on the rack. We recommend that you touch the clip to an unpainted rack rail so that any built-up static charge is then safely dissipated to the entire rack.

3.    Attach either the spring clip or the alligator clip to the ground lug screw as follows:

DETAILED STEPS

Step 1

Attach the ESD wrist strap to bare skin as follows:

1. If you are using the ESD wrist strap supplied with the FRUs, open the wrist strap package and unwrap the ESD wrist strap. Place the black conductive loop over your wrist and tighten the strap such that it touches your bare skin well.

2. If you are using an ESD wrist strap equipped with an alligator clip, open the package and remove the ESD wrist strap. Locate the end of the wrist strap that attaches to your body and secure it to your bare skin.

Step 2

Grasp the spring or alligator clip on the ESD wrist strap and momentarily touch the clip to a bare metal spot (unpainted surface) on the rack. We recommend that you touch the clip to an unpainted rack rail so that any built-up static charge is then safely dissipated to the entire rack.

Step 3

Attach either the spring clip or the alligator clip to the ground lug screw as follows:

1. If you are using the ESD wrist strap that is supplied with the FRUs, squeeze the spring clip jaws open, position the spring clip to one side of the system ground lug screw head, and slide the spring clip over the lug screw head so that the spring clip jaws close behind the lug screw head.

Note:
The spring clip jaws do not open wide enough to fit directly over the head of the lug screw or the lug barrel.

2. If you are using an ESD wrist strap that is equipped with an alligator clip, attach the alligator clip directly over the head of the system ground lug screw or to the system ground lug barrel.

When handling modules, follow these guidelines:

- Handle carriers using the available handles or edges only; avoid touching the printed circuit boards or connectors.

- Place a removed component boardside up on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding container. If you plan to return the component to the factory, immediately place it in a static shielding container.

- Never attempt to remove the printed circuit board from the metal carrier.

Caution:
For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be between 1 and 10 megohm (Mohm).

Tools Required for Module Installation or Removal

These tools are required to perform the installation or removal of Ethernet modules:

- Antistatic mat or foam pad to support an unpackaged module.

- Small flat-blade screwdriver.

- Number 2 Phillips screwdriver.

- Your own ESD-prevention equipment.

Chapter 3. Installing and Removing Modules, Transceivers, and Attaching Cables

- Installing Transceivers and Module Connectors

Installing an Ethernet Switching Module

The C6800-32P10G-XL Ethernet module illustrations are shown here as examples; the same installation procedure applies to other modules.

Before You Begin
Verify the following:

- That the two slots adjacent to the slot where you are installing the module have either a module installed in them or a switching-module filler plate installed (Cisco part numbers SLOTBLANK-09 or WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR-E) if either slot is unused. If either slot has a blank slot cover (Cisco part number WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR), you need to remove the blank slot cover and replace it with a switching-module filler plate for NEBS compliance.

- That there is enough clearance to accommodate any interface equipment, such as pluggable transceivers, installed directly on the module ports. If possible, install modules between empty slots that contain only module filler plates.

- That you have adequate cable guides installed on the chassis to accept the additional network interface cables for the new module.

- That the captive installation screws are tightened on all modules installed in the chassis.

This is to ensure that the EMI gaskets on all of the modules are fully compressed in order to maximize the opening space for the new or replacement module. If the captive installation screws are loose, the EMI gaskets on the installed modules will push adjacent modules toward the open slot, reducing the opening size and making it difficult to install the module.

Step 1

Attach an ESD grounding strap to your wrist and to ground.

Step 2

Choose a slot for the module and remove the module filler plate covering the selected slot by removing the two Phillips pan-head screws from the filler plate.
Refer to your software release notes for any information on slot or chassis restrictions for the module that you are installing.

Step 3

Remove the new module from its shipping packaging and from the antistatic shipping bag.

Caution:
To prevent ESD damage, handle modules by the carrier edges only.

Step 4

Fully open both ejector levers on the new module.

Step 5

Position the new module in the slot. Make sure that you align the sides of the module carrier with the slot guides on each side of the chassis slot.

Locating the Slot Guide and EMI Gasket

1

Slot guides. Modules to be inserted between these slot guides.

2

Step 6

Carefully slide the module into the slot until the EMI gasket along the top edge of the module makes contact with the module or cover plate in the slot above it and the module ejector levers have both closed to approximately 45 degrees with respect to the module faceplate.

Positioning the Module in the Chassis Slot

1

Module inserted between the slot guides

2

Step 7

Using the thumb and forefinger of each hand, grasp the two ejector levers and gently press down to create a small 0.040 inch (1 mm) gap between the module's EMI gasket and the module or cover plate above it.

Note:
Do not press down too forcefully on the levers because they will bend and get damaged.

Clearing the EMI Gasket in the Chassis Slot

1

Gently press down and simultaneously close the left and right ejector levers to seat the module.

2

1 mm gap between the module EMI gasket and the module above it.

Step 8

While gently pressing down, simultaneously close the left and right ejector levers to fully seat the module in the backplane connector. The ejector levers are fully closed when they are flush with the module faceplate.
Failure to fully seat the module in the backplane connector can result in error messages.

Step 9

Make sure the ejector levers are fully closed and then tighten the two captive installation screws on the module.

Closing Ejector Levers in the Chassis Slot

1

Ejector levers fully closed and flush with the module faceplate

-

Step 10

Verify that the module STATUS LED is lit.
Periodically check the STATUS LED color:

- If the STATUS LED changes from orange to green, the module has successfully completed the boot process and is now online.

- If the STATUS LED remains orange or turns red, the module has not successfully completed the boot process and may have encountered an error. For more information about the orange or red STATUS LED states, see Appendix B.

What to Do Next

1. Install switching-module filler plates (Cisco part numbers SLOTBLANK-09 or WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR-E) in any empty slots to maintain consistent airflow through the switch chassis.

2. Verify module installation.

Removing and Ethernet Module

Before You Begin

Caution

During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the module.

Warning

Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments. Statement 1051

Step 1

Attach an ESD grounding strap to your wrist and to ground.

Step 2

Disconnect any network interface cables attached to the module.

Step 3

Verify that the captive installation screws on all of the modules in the chassis are tight.
This step ensures that the space created by the removed module is maintained. If the captive installation screws are loose, the EMI gaskets on the installed modules will push the modules toward the open slot, reducing the opening size and making it difficult to remove the module.

Step 4

Loosen the two captive screws on the module. Make sure that the two captive screws are completely unscrewed from the chassis.

Step 5

Place your thumbs on the left and right ejector levers and simultaneously rotate the levers outward to unseat the module from the backplane connector.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Place the removed module on an antistatic mat or in an antistatic bag, or immediately reinstall it in another slot.

Step 8

Perform one of the following steps:

- Install another module.

- Install a module filler plate.

If the slot is to remain empty and is adjacent to a module, you must install a module filler plate (Cisco part numbers SLOTBLANK-09 or WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR-E) to maintain proper air flow through the chassis. Do not install a blank slot cover (Cisco part number WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR) over the unused slot.

Warning:
Blank faceplates and cover 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, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place. Statement 1029

Installing Transceivers and Module Connectors

Some Ethernet modules require that pluggable transceivers be installed in the module port sockets. These transceivers are normally shipped separately from the module and must be installed after the module is installed in the chassis slot.

For detailed instructions about installing the various kinds of pluggable transceivers and module connectors, see the following:

Attaching Optical Network Interface Cables

Before You Begin
Follow the guidelines prescribed for maintaining fiber-optic connectors Cleaning the Fiber-Optic Connectors

Caution

Do not remove the plugs from the transceiver optical bores or the fiber-optic cable until you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs protect the transceiver optical bores and cable from contamination.

Step 1

Remove the dust plugs from the network interface cable optical connectors. Save the dust plugs for future use.

Step 2

Immediately inspect and clean the optical connector's fiber-optic end-faces.
Always inspect and clean the SC or the LC connector end-faces just before making any connections.

Step 3

Remove the dust plugs from the transceiver optical bores.
If you are using the LX/LH GBIC with MMF, you need to install a patch cord between the GBIC and the MMF cable.

The Read-Only WDM GBIC (WDM-GBIC-REC=) has only one optical bore (receive).

Step 4

Immediately attach the network interface cable optical connector to the transceiver. Always grasp the SC or the LC connector housing rather than the fiber-optic cable to plug or unplug the fiber-optic cable.

Mode-Conditioning Patch Cord

When using the long-wavelength and long-haul (LX and LH) GBIC with 62.5-micron diameter multimode fiber (MMF), you must install a mode-conditioning patch cord (Cisco product number CAB-GELX-625 or equivalent) between the GBIC and the MMF cable on both the transmit and receive ends of the link.

When an unconditioned laser source designed for operation on single-mode optical fiber (SMF) is directly coupled to an MMF cable, an effect known as differential mode delay (DMD) might result in a degradation of the modal bandwidth of the optical fiber cable. This degradation results in a decrease in the link span (the distance between a transmitter and a receiver) that can be supported reliably. The effect of DMD can be overcome by conditioning the launch characteristics of a laser source. A practical means of performing this conditioning is to use a device called a mode-conditioning patch cord.

A mode-conditioning patch cord is required for 1000BASE-LX and LH applications over FDDI-grade, OM1, and OM2 fiber-cable types. Mode-conditioning patch cords should not be used for applications over OM3 fiber cable (laser-optimized fiber cable). For more information about mode-conditioning patch cords, see the Use of Mode Conditioning Patch Cables in Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet Laser-Based Transmissions bulletin available on Cisco.com.

Note

We recommend that you use the LX and LH GBIC and MMF with the patch cord for short link distances of 33 to 328 feet (10 to 100 meters) because not using the patch could result in an elevated bit error rate (BER).

The patch cord is required to comply with IEEE standards. IEEE found that link distances could not be met with certain types of fiber-optic cable due to a problem in the center of some fiber-optic cable cores. The solution is to launch light from the laser at a precise offset from the center by using the patch cord. At the output of the patch cord, the LX and LH GBIC complies with the IEEE 802.3z standard for 1000BASE-LX.

- Installing the Patch Cord

Installing the Patch Cord

Warning

Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments. Statement 1051

To install the patch cord, perform these steps:

SUMMARY STEPS

1.    Plug the end of the patch cord labeled To Equipment into the GBIC. See Figure 1.

2.    Plug the end labeled To Cable Plant into the patch panel. See Figure 1.

DETAILED STEPS

Step 1

Plug the end of the patch cord labeled To Equipment into the GBIC. See Figure 1.

Step 2

Plug the end labeled To Cable Plant into the patch panel. See Figure 1.
The patch cord is 9.8-feet (3-meters) long and has duplex SC male connectors at each end.

Patch Cord Installation

Connecting Transceivers to a Copper Network

Caution

To comply with GR-1089 intrabuilding lightning immunity requirements, you must use grounded, shielded, twisted-pair Category 5 cabling.

Step 1

Insert the network cable RJ-45 connector into the RJ-45 connector on the transceiver.
When connecting to a 1000BASE-T-compatible switch or repeater, use four-twisted-pair, crossover Category 5 cabling.

Step 2

Insert the other end of the network cable into an RJ-45 connector on a 1000BASE-T-compatible target device.

Verifying Newly Installed Modules

Enter the show module or show port [modnum/port_num] privileged EXEC command.

This verifies that the system acknowledges the new modules and has brought them online.

What to Do Next

Enter the ping host user EXEC command to ping a host and check connectivity.

If the host is unresponsive, check the IP address of the switch and default IP route, if appropriate.

Module Connectors

This section provides brief descriptions of the module connectors that the switch supports.

- RJ-45 Connector

- SC Connector

- LC Connector

RJ-45 Connector

The RJ-45 connector is used to connect a Category 3, Category 5, Category 5e, or Category 6 foil twisted-pair or unshielded twisted-pair cable from the external network to the module interface connector.

RJ-45 Interface Cable Connector

Caution

Category 5e, Category 6, and Category 6a cables can store large levels of static electricity because of the dielectric properties of the materials used in their construction. Always ground the cables (especially in new cable runs) to a suitable and safe earth ground before connecting them to the module.

Caution

To comply with GR-1089 intrabuilding and lightning immunity requirements, you must use a foil twisted-pair (FTP) cable that is properly grounded at both ends.

SC Connector

The SC connector is used to connect fiber-optic module ports or transceivers with the external SMF or MMF network.

Warning

Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments. Statement 1051

Note

Make sure that the optical connectors are clean before making the connections. Contaminated connectors can damage the fiber and cause data errors.

SC Fiber-Optic Connector

Always insert the network connector completely into the socket. A secure connection is especially important when you are establishing a connection between a module and a long-distance (1.24 miles) (2 km) network, or a module and a suspected highly attenuated network. If the link LED does not light up, try removing the network cable plug and reinserting it firmly into the module socket. It is possible that dirt or skin oils have accumulated on the plug faceplate (around the optical-fiber openings), generating significant attenuation and reducing the optical power levels below threshold levels so that a link cannot be established.

Caution

Use extreme care when removing or installing connectors so that you do not damage the connector housing or scratch the end-face surface of the fiber. Always install protective covers on unused or disconnected components to prevent contamination. Always clean fiber connectors before installing them.

LC Connector

The LC fiber optic connector is a small form-factor fiber-optic connector that provides high-density fiber connectivity. The LC connector can be used with either MMF cable or SMF cable. The LC connector uses a latching clip mechanism that is similar to the one used on the RJ-45 copper connector.

Warning

Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments. Statement 1051

Note

Make sure that the optical connectors are clean before making the connections. Contaminated connectors can damage the fiber and cause data errors.

Installing an Ethernet Switching Module

The C6800-32P10G-XL Ethernet module illustrations are shown here as examples; the same installation procedure applies to other modules.

Before You Begin
Verify the following:

- That the two slots adjacent to the slot where you are installing the module have either a module installed in them or a switching-module filler plate installed (Cisco part numbers SLOTBLANK-09 or WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR-E) if either slot is unused. If either slot has a blank slot cover (Cisco part number WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR), you need to remove the blank slot cover and replace it with a switching-module filler plate for NEBS compliance.

- That there is enough clearance to accommodate any interface equipment, such as pluggable transceivers, installed directly on the module ports. If possible, install modules between empty slots that contain only module filler plates.

- That you have adequate cable guides installed on the chassis to accept the additional network interface cables for the new module.

- That the captive installation screws are tightened on all modules installed in the chassis.

This is to ensure that the EMI gaskets on all of the modules are fully compressed in order to maximize the opening space for the new or replacement module. If the captive installation screws are loose, the EMI gaskets on the installed modules will push adjacent modules toward the open slot, reducing the opening size and making it difficult to install the module.

Step 1

Attach an ESD grounding strap to your wrist and to ground.

Step 2

Choose a slot for the module and remove the module filler plate covering the selected slot by removing the two Phillips pan-head screws from the filler plate.
Refer to your software release notes for any information on slot or chassis restrictions for the module that you are installing.

Step 3

Remove the new module from its shipping packaging and from the antistatic shipping bag.

Caution:
To prevent ESD damage, handle modules by the carrier edges only.

Step 4

Fully open both ejector levers on the new module.

Step 5

Position the new module in the slot. Make sure that you align the sides of the module carrier with the slot guides on each side of the chassis slot.

Locating the Slot Guide and EMI Gasket

1

Slot guides. Modules to be inserted between these slot guides.

2

EMI gasket.

Step 6

Carefully slide the module into the slot until the EMI gasket along the top edge of the module makes contact with the module or cover plate in the slot above it and the module ejector levers have both closed to approximately 45 degrees with respect to the module faceplate.

Positioning the Module in the Chassis Slot

1

Module inserted between the slot guides

2

Ejector lever fully extended

Step 7

Using the thumb and forefinger of each hand, grasp the two ejector levers and gently press down to create a small 0.040 inch (1 mm) gap between the module's EMI gasket and the module or cover plate above it.

Note:
Do not press down too forcefully on the levers because they will bend and get damaged.

Clearing the EMI Gasket in the Chassis Slot

1

Gently press down and simultaneously close the left and right ejector levers to seat the module.

2

1 mm gap between the module EMI gasket and the module above it.

Step 8

While gently pressing down, simultaneously close the left and right ejector levers to fully seat the module in the backplane connector. The ejector levers are fully closed when they are flush with the module faceplate.
Failure to fully seat the module in the backplane connector can result in error messages.

Step 9

Make sure the ejector levers are fully closed and then tighten the two captive installation screws on the module.

Closing Ejector Levers in the Chassis Slot

1

Ejector levers fully closed and flush with the module faceplate

-

Step 10

Verify that the module STATUS LED is lit.
Periodically check the STATUS LED color:

- If the STATUS LED changes from orange to green, the module has successfully completed the boot process and is now online.

- If the STATUS LED remains orange or turns red, the module has not successfully completed the boot process and may have encountered an error. For more information about the orange or red STATUS LED states, see Appendix B.

What to Do Next

1. Install switching-module filler plates (Cisco part numbers SLOTBLANK-09 or WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR-E) in any empty slots to maintain consistent airflow through the switch chassis.

2. Verify module installation.

Installing an Ethernet Switching Module

Installing an Ethernet Switching Module

The C6800-32P10G-XL Ethernet module illustrations are shown here as examples; the same installation procedure applies to other modules.

Before You Begin
Verify the following:

- That the two slots adjacent to the slot where you are installing the module have either a module installed in them or a switching-module filler plate installed (Cisco part numbers SLOTBLANK-09 or WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR-E) if either slot is unused. If either slot has a blank slot cover (Cisco part number WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR), you need to remove the blank slot cover and replace it with a switching-module filler plate for NEBS compliance.

- That there is enough clearance to accommodate any interface equipment, such as pluggable transceivers, installed directly on the module ports. If possible, install modules between empty slots that contain only module filler plates.

- That you have adequate cable guides installed on the chassis to accept the additional network interface cables for the new module.

- That the captive installation screws are tightened on all modules installed in the chassis.

This is to ensure that the EMI gaskets on all of the modules are fully compressed in order to maximize the opening space for the new or replacement module. If the captive installation screws are loose, the EMI gaskets on the installed modules will push adjacent modules toward the open slot, reducing the opening size and making it difficult to install the module.

Step 1

Attach an ESD grounding strap to your wrist and to ground.

Step 2

Choose a slot for the module and remove the module filler plate covering the selected slot by removing the two Phillips pan-head screws from the filler plate.
Refer to your software release notes for any information on slot or chassis restrictions for the module that you are installing.

Step 3

Remove the new module from its shipping packaging and from the antistatic shipping bag.

Caution:
To prevent ESD damage, handle modules by the carrier edges only.

Step 4

Fully open both ejector levers on the new module.

Step 5

Position the new module in the slot. Make sure that you align the sides of the module carrier with the slot guides on each side of the chassis slot.

Locating the Slot Guide and EMI Gasket

1

Slot guides. Modules to be inserted between these slot guides.

2

EMI gasket.

Step 6

Carefully slide the module into the slot until the EMI gasket along the top edge of the module makes contact with the module or cover plate in the slot above it and the module ejector levers have both closed to approximately 45 degrees with respect to the module faceplate.

Positioning the Module in the Chassis Slot

1

Module inserted between the slot guides

2

Ejector lever fully extended

Step 7

Using the thumb and forefinger of each hand, grasp the two ejector levers and gently press down to create a small 0.040 inch (1 mm) gap between the module's EMI gasket and the module or cover plate above it.

Note:
Do not press down too forcefully on the levers because they will bend and get damaged.

Clearing the EMI Gasket in the Chassis Slot

1

Gently press down and simultaneously close the left and right ejector levers to seat the module.

2

1 mm gap between the module EMI gasket and the module above it.

Step 8

While gently pressing down, simultaneously close the left and right ejector levers to fully seat the module in the backplane connector. The ejector levers are fully closed when they are flush with the module faceplate.
Failure to fully seat the module in the backplane connector can result in error messages.

Step 9

Make sure the ejector levers are fully closed and then tighten the two captive installation screws on the module.

Closing Ejector Levers in the Chassis Slot

1

Ejector levers fully closed and flush with the module faceplate

-

Step 10

Verify that the module STATUS LED is lit.
Periodically check the STATUS LED color:

- If the STATUS LED changes from orange to green, the module has successfully completed the boot process and is now online.

- If the STATUS LED remains orange or turns red, the module has not successfully completed the boot process and may have encountered an error. For more information about the orange or red STATUS LED states, see Appendix B.

What to Do Next

1. Install switching-module filler plates (Cisco part numbers SLOTBLANK-09 or WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR-E) in any empty slots to maintain consistent airflow through the switch chassis.

2. Verify module installation.

Installing an Ethernet Switching Module

The C6800-32P10G-XL Ethernet module illustrations are shown here as examples; the same installation procedure applies to other modules.

Before You Begin
Verify the following:

- That the two slots adjacent to the slot where you are installing the module have either a module installed in them or a switching-module filler plate installed (Cisco part numbers SLOTBLANK-09 or WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR-E) if either slot is unused. If either slot has a blank slot cover (Cisco part number WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR), you need to remove the blank slot cover and replace it with a switching-module filler plate for NEBS compliance.

- That there is enough clearance to accommodate any interface equipment, such as pluggable transceivers, installed directly on the module ports. If possible, install modules between empty slots that contain only module filler plates.

- That you have adequate cable guides installed on the chassis to accept the additional network interface cables for the new module.

- That the captive installation screws are tightened on all modules installed in the chassis.

This is to ensure that the EMI gaskets on all of the modules are fully compressed in order to maximize the opening space for the new or replacement module. If the captive installation screws are loose, the EMI gaskets on the installed modules will push adjacent modules toward the open slot, reducing the opening size and making it difficult to install the module.

Step 1

Attach an ESD grounding strap to your wrist and to ground.

Step 2

Choose a slot for the module and remove the module filler plate covering the selected slot by removing the two Phillips pan-head screws from the filler plate.
Refer to your software release notes for any information on slot or chassis restrictions for the module that you are installing.

Step 3

Remove the new module from its shipping packaging and from the antistatic shipping bag.

Caution:
To prevent ESD damage, handle modules by the carrier edges only.

Step 4

Fully open both ejector levers on the new module.

Step 5

Position the new module in the slot. Make sure that you align the sides of the module carrier with the slot guides on each side of the chassis slot.

Locating the Slot Guide and EMI Gasket

1

Slot guides. Modules to be inserted between these slot guides.

2

Step 7

Using the thumb and forefinger of each hand, grasp the two ejector levers and gently press down to create a small 0.040 inch (1 mm) gap between the module's EMI gasket and the module or cover plate above it.

Note:
Do not press down too forcefully on the levers because they will bend and get damaged.

Clearing the EMI Gasket in the Chassis Slot

1

Gently press down and simultaneously close the left and right ejector levers to seat the module.

2

1 mm gap between the module EMI gasket and the module above it.

Step 8

While gently pressing down, simultaneously close the left and right ejector levers to fully seat the module in the backplane connector. The ejector levers are fully closed when they are flush with the module faceplate.
Failure to fully seat the module in the backplane connector can result in error messages.

Step 9

Make sure the ejector levers are fully closed and then tighten the two captive installation screws on the module.

Closing Ejector Levers in the Chassis Slot

Ejector levers fully closed and flush with the module faceplate

-

Step 10

Verify that the module STATUS LED is lit.
Periodically check the STATUS LED color:

- If the STATUS LED changes from orange to green, the module has successfully completed the boot process and is now online.

- If the STATUS LED remains orange or turns red, the module has not successfully completed the boot process and may have encountered an error. For more information about the orange or red STATUS LED states, see Appendix B.

What to Do Next

1. Install switching-module filler plates (Cisco part numbers SLOTBLANK-09 or WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR-E) in any empty slots to maintain consistent airflow through the switch chassis.

2. Verify module installation.

Installing an Ethernet Switching Module

The C6800-32P10G-XL Ethernet module illustrations are shown here as examples; the same installation procedure applies to other modules.

Before You Begin
Verify the following:

- That the two slots adjacent to the slot where you are installing the module have either a module installed in them or a switching-module filler plate installed (Cisco part numbers SLOTBLANK-09 or WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR-E) if either slot is unused. If either slot has a blank slot cover (Cisco part number WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR), you need to remove the blank slot cover and replace it with a switching-module filler plate for NEBS compliance.

Establishing System Ground

To attach the grounding lug and cable to the grounding pad, perform these steps

Before You Begin
To connect the system ground, you require the following tools and materials:

- Grounding lug—A two-hole right-angled lug. Supports up to 6 AWG wire. Supplied as part of accessory kit.

- Grounding screws—Two M4 x 8 mm (metric) pan-head screws. Supplied as part of the accessory kit.

- Grounding wire—Not supplied as part of accessory kit. The grounding wire should be sized according to local and national installation requirements. Depending on the power supply and system, a 12 to 6 AWG copper conductor is required for U.S. installations. Commercially available 6-AWG wire is recommended. The length of the grounding wire depends on the proximity of the switch to proper grounding facilities.

- No. 1 Phillips screwdriver.

- Crimping tool to crimp the grounding wire to the grounding lug.

- Wire-stripping tool to remove the insulation from the grounding wire.

SUMMARY STEPS

1.    Use a wire-stripping tool to remove approximately 0.75 inches (19 mm) of the covering from the end of the grounding wire.

2.    Insert the stripped end of the grounding wire into the open end of the right-angled grounding lug.

3.    Crimp the grounding wire in the barrel of the grounding lug. Verify that the ground wire is securely attached to the ground lug.

4.    Secure the grounding lug to the system ground connector with two M4 screws. Ensure that the grounding lug and the grounding wire do not interfere with other switch hardware or rack equipment.

5.    Prepare the other end of the grounding wire, and connect it to an appropriate grounding point in your site to ensure adequate earth ground for the switch.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage may occur when modules or other FRUs are improperly handled, and result in intermittent or complete failure of the modules or FRUs. Modules consist of printed circuit boards that are fixed in metal carriers. EMI shielding and connectors are integral components of a carrier. Although the metal carrier helps to protect the board from ESD, always use an ESD-grounding strap when handling modules. To prevent ESD damage, follow these guidelines:

- Always use an ESD wrist strap and ensure that it has maximum contact with bare skin. ESD grounding straps are available with banana plugs, metal spring clips, or alligator clips. The chassis is equipped with a banana plug connector (identified by the ground symbol next to the connector) on the front panel.

- If you choose to use the disposable ESD wrist strap supplied with most FRUs or an ESD wrist strap equipped with an alligator clip, you must attach the system ground lug to the chassis in order to provide a proper grounding point for the ESD wrist strap.
