Step 7 Place the CFC daughter card on an antistatic mat, antistatic foam pad, or in an antistatic bag.
Removing the DFC3 Daughter Card Removing the DFC3 Daughter Card from Modules Without Stiffener Brackets To remove the DFC3 daughter card from modules that are not equipped with a stiffener bracket, follow these steps: 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 Step 1 Attach an ESD grounding strap to your wrist and to ground.
Removing the DFC3 Daughter Card Step 6 Partially reinstall the cap nut, as shown in Figure 4, about 3 turns so that there is a space of about 1/8 inch (3 mm) between the bottom of the cap nut and the top of the DFC3 daughter card. The cap nut acts as a stop when you unseat the daughter card connector so that the DFC3 daughter card does not move horizontally and cause damage to the base board.

Removing the DFC3 Daughter Card To remove a DFC3 daughter card from a WS-X6748-GE-TX Ethernet module equipped with a stiffener bracket, follow these steps: Step 1 Attach an ESD grounding strap to your wrist and to ground. (If you are unsure about the correct way to attach an ESD grounding strap, refer to the “Attaching Your ESD Grounding Strap” section on page 40 for instructions.) Step 2 Remove the WS-X6748-GE-TX Ethernet module from the Catalyst 6500 series switch.
Removing the DFC3 Daughter Card Note Step 6 The two screws securing the DFC3 daughter card that pass through the front stiffener bracket tabs are longer than the remaining DFC installation screws. With your left hand, lift slightly at the location shown in Figure 8, and gently rock the DFC3 daughter card up and down to unseat the daughter card from the module connectors.

Upgrading the DFC3BXL Daughter Card Memory Removing the SODIMM 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 To remove the existing SODIMM, follow these steps: Step 1 Attach an ESD grounding strap to your wrist and to ground.
Upgrading the DFC3BXL Daughter Card Memory Step 3 Release the spring clips from the SODIMM, and release the SODIMM from the socket. (See Figure 11.) Figure 11 Releasing the SODIMM Spring Clips Pull the tabs away with your thumbs, bracing your forefingers against the rails. The memory module will be released. Then raise the memory module to a vertical position.
Upgrading the DFC3BXL Daughter Card Memory Handling a SODIMM 51544 Figure 12 Step 5 Immediately place the old SODIMM in an antistatic bag to protect it from ESD damage. Installing the SODIMM Caution SODIMMs are sensitive components that are susceptible to ESD damage. To prevent ESD damage, handle SODIMMs by the edges only; avoid touching the memory modules, pins, or traces (the metal fingers along the connector edge of the SODIMM). (See Figure 12.
Installing the DFC3 Daughter Card Installing the SODIMM 28736 Figure 13 Step 6 When the SODIMM is installed, check the two alignment holes, and ensure that the spring retainer is visible. If it is not, the SODIMM is not seated properly. If any SODIMM appears misaligned, carefully remove it and reseat it in the socket. Push the SODIMM firmly back into the socket until the retainer springs snap into place. Installing the DFC3 Daughter Card This section contains two DFC3 installation procedures.

Installing the DFC3 Daughter Card Step 4 Ensure that the connectors on the DFC3 are aligned with the connectors on the module. Figure 16 shows the connectors on the underside of the DFC3. Figure 16 DFC3 Daughter Card Connectors (Underside of DFC Daughter Card Shown) 99363 Connectors Step 5 Apply pressure to the area shown in Figure 17 to seat the power connector.
Installing the DFC3 Daughter Card Caution Use care not to damage the connectors on the module. If you damage a connector, it will be necessary to return the module to Cisco for repair. Step 6 Position the installation bracket over the two male standoffs at the back of the DFC daughter card. Apply pressure to the top of the bracket, as shown in Figure 18 to fully seat the DFC3 daughter card on the module.
Installing the DFC3 Daughter Card You should visually verify that there are standoffs beneath the mounting holes before installing the securing screws.

Installing the DFC3 Daughter Card Installing the DFC3 Daughter Card on Modules Equipped with a Stiffener Bracket Note Some early versions of the WS-X6748-GE-TX Ethernet modules have a stiffener bracket mounted across the top front part of the module, which requires a modified procedure to install the DFC daughter card. Warning During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card.

DFC daughter card slides underneath tabs.
Installing the DFC3 Daughter Card Step 7 Position the installation bracket over the two standoffs and press down on the top of the bracket to seat the DFC3 daughter card connectors on the module connectors. (See Figure 21.) Caution When seating the DFC3 daughter card on the module connectors, DO NOT touch or apply any pressure to the heat sinks. Press down on the installation bracket only.

DFC daughter card must be installed underneath tabs. Caution Step 10 You must install screws in all available standoffs. The screws provide grounding between the DFC3 daughter card and the module.
Removing and Installing Modules in the Chassis Removing and Installing Modules in the Chassis This section describes how to correctly remove and install a module in a Catalyst 6500 series switch chassis slot. Caution Warning During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card. Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments.
Removing and Installing Modules in the Chassis Step 5 Depending on the orientation of the slots in the chassis (horizontal or vertical), perform one of the following two sets of substeps: Horizontal slots a. Place your thumbs on the left and right ejector levers, and simultaneously rotate the levers outward to unseat the module from the backplane connector. b. Grasp the front edge of the module and slide the module part of the way out of the slot.
Removing and Installing Modules in the Chassis Step 4 Depending on the orientation of the slots in the chassis (horizontal or vertical), perform one of the following two sets of substeps: Horizontal slots Caution a. Position the module in the slot. (See Figure 23.) Make sure that you align the sides of the module carrier with the slot guides on each side of the slot. b.
