These sections describe fabric module handling procedures. Illustrations depict a DCS-7316 chassis

and fabric modules. While proper handling of DCS-7316 components is imperative because of their

size and weight, the instructions also describe best practices for handling DCS-7304 and DCS-7308

components.

B.1.1

Removing Fabric Modules

Note: While removing and replacing a fabric module in a gen3 chassis (7304X3, 7308X3),

issue a command to offload traffic before removing the module to avoid potential traffic loss.

This procedure removes a fabric from the switch chassis.

1. Release the lock-levers from the module frame (Fabric Module Removal:Initial Position-left).

2. Extend the lock-levers towards the top and bottom of the chassis (Fabric Module Removal:Initial

Position-right).

3. Use the lock-levers to pull the module three to four inches (Fabric Module Removal:Edging the

Module Out-left).

4. Return the lock-levers to the closed position (Fabric Module Removal:Edging the Module Out

Closing the Lock Levers-right)

5. Grasp the module frame and pull the module until it is completely outside of the chassis.
