• If you have redundant supervisor engines, you must install the same policy feature card on each
Caution
supervisor engine. The hardware on both the supervisor engines in a single chassis must be identical.
• You must shut down the switch to install the policy feature card, even if you have redundant supervisor
engines.
• Ensure that the policy feature card is securely seated before you install and tighten the cap nut and
the securing screws. If you use the screws to forcibly seat the policy feature card, the card might
warp.
• You must use all the screws. The screws provide grounding between the policy feature card and the
supervisor engine. Failure to use and tighten all screws will invalidate the safety approval and pose
a fire and electrical hazard.
• Use care not to damage the connectors on the supervisor engine. If you damage a connector, you
will have to return the supervisor engine to Cisco for repair.
• Always use an ESD wrist strap when handling modules or coming into contact with internal
components.
