On the replacement module, rotate the two ejector levers fully away from the face of the module.
Step 10
If you are inserting the module into a Cisco Nexus 7010 chassis, turn the module 90 degrees clockwise.
Step 11
With one hand holding each side of the module, align the backside of the module to the slot guides in
Step 12
the vacated slot, and slide the module part way into the slot.
Caution To prevent ESD damage, avoid touching the electronic circuitry and prevent anything else from coming
in contact with the circuitry.
Step 13 With one or both hands on the face of the module, push the module all the way into the slot until it seats
on the midplane connector. The EMI gasket will close the gap between this module and any module or
chassis edge that is immediately above the module that you just installed.
Simultaneously push both ejector levers inward until they come in contact with the face of the module.
Step 14
The captive screws should be aligned to their holes in the chassis.
Tighten the two captive screws on the fabric module to 8 in-lb (0.9 N·m).
Step 15
Verify that the module Status LED is on and becomes green after the module is initialized. To see the

Upgrading Fabric 1 Modules with Fabric 2 Modules

If you are running Cisco NX-OS 6.0(x) or a later release, you can upgrade all of the Fabric 1 modules
with Fabric 2 modules in a Cisco Nexus 7010 or 7018 switch (the Cisco Nexus 7009 uses only Fabric 2
modules). You can upgrade the modules during operations if you replace each within a couple of minutes
so that the switch can maintain its designed airflow. The upgrade process is non disruptive to switch
operations if there is at least one fabric module installed and operating in the switch while you upgrade
another fabric module.
When upgrading fabric modules, you must replace all of the Fabric 1 modules in the switch with Fabric
2 modules within 12 hours or you will see a syslog message that reminds you to complete the upgrade.
If you power up a switch that has both types of fabric modules installed, only the Fabric 2 modules power
