Leave the ESD-preventive wrist strap permanently connected to the chassis so that the strap is always
available when you need to handle ESD-sensitive components.
Removing a Switch Fabric Module
You need the following tools and equipment to remove a switch fabric module:
● ESD-preventive wrist strap (if one is not already attached to the chassis)
● #2 Phillips screwdriver
● Anti-static packaging for the removed module
● Replacement XFM-1 module or XFM-1 module blank
CAUTION
If you remove an XFM-1 module, you must install a replacement module or a module blank to ensure that the
remaining modules continue to function correctly. All five module slots must be occupied at all times for proper
cooling and module operation.
To remove an XFM-1 module:
1 Attach the ESD-preventive wrist strap to your bare wrist and connect the metal end to the ground
receptacle on the back of the chassis.
2 Using a # 2 Phillips screwdriver, completely loosen the captive retaining screws (Figure 52).
