This section describes how to replace versatile interface modules (VIM5)
in the front and solid-state drive (SSD) modules in the rear slot of a VSP 4900
switch.
You need the following tools and materials to install a VIM:
ESD-preventive wrist strap
#2 Phillips screwdriver
Caution
VIMs and SSDs
are not hot-swappable. Disconnect power to the switch before removing an
installed VIM or SSD and installing a new one.
The replacement procedure is the same for all VSP 4900 VIM5s and
SSDs.
To replace a VIM or SSD:
Attach an ESD-preventive wrist
strap to your wrist and connect the metal end to an appropriate ground point on
the rack.
Disconnect the switch
power.
Remove the existing VIM or
SSD:
Remove the retaining
screws holding the existing module in place.
Save the retaining
screws to secure the new module in the switch.
Pull the old module out
of the module slot.
Remove the new VIM or SSD from
its anti-static packaging.
Install the VIM or SSD in the
switch:
Carefully slide the
module into the switch.
Insert and tighten the
retaining screws you removed in step 3.
