and 9506 Directors by using the out-of-service module slot command (where slot refers to the slot
number for the Supervisor-1 or Supervisor-2 module where the integrated crossbar is located).
Upload the current configuration to a server if the switch has only one supervisor module. For

Place your thumbs on the left and right ejector levers and simultaneously rotate the levers outward
to unseat the module from the backplane connector.
Grasp the front edge of the module and slide the module partially out of the slot. Place your other
hand under the module to support the weight of the module. Do not touch the module circuitry.
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
