Installing the Switch
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:
a) 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
b) 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
• Place a removed component boardside up on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding container. If
• Never attempt to remove the printed circuit board from the metal carrier.
Verifying the Switch Chassis Installation
To verify the switch chassis installation, perform these steps:
Procedure
Step 1
Verify that the ejector levers of each module are fully closed (parallel to the faceplate) to ensure that the
supervisor engine and all the switching modules are fully seated in the backplane connectors.
Step 2
Check the captive installation screws of each module, and tighten any loose captive installation screws.
Step 3
Verify that all empty module slots and power supply bays have blanks installed properly. The blanks optimize
the air flow through the chassis and contain EMI.
Warning
Step 4
Turn on the power supply switches to power up the system. During the power-up sequence, the system performs
a series of bootup diagnostic tests.
The spring clip jaws do not open wide enough to fit directly over the head of the lug screw or
the lug barrel.
connectors.
you plan to return the component to the factory, immediately place it in a static shielding container.
For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement
Caution
should be between 1 and 10 megohm (Mohm).
Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions— They prevent exposure to
hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain EMI that might disrupt other
equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system
until all cards, face plates, front covers, and rear covers are in place. Statement 1029
