Warning Hazardous voltage or energy is present on the backplane when the system is operating. Use caution when servicing. Statement 1034
Warning 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
Warning This unit is intended for installation in restricted access areas. A restricted access area can be accessed only through the use of a special tool, lock and key, or other means of security. Statement 1017
Preparing to Install the WebVPN Services Module
Before installing the WebVPN Services Module, make sure that the following items are available:
•Catalyst 6500 series switch chassis with Supervisor Engine 720
•Management station that is available through a console connection to perform configuration tasks
Required Tools
Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment. Statement 1030
These tools are required to install the WebVPN Services Module into the Catalyst 6500 series switch:
•Flat-blade screwdriver
•Wrist strap or other grounding device
•Antistatic mat or antistatic foam
Installing the WebVPN Services Module
Note Before installing the WebVPN Services Module, you must install the Catalyst 6500 series switch chassis and at least one supervisor engine. For information on installing the switch chassis, refer to the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Installation Guide.
This section describes how to install the WebVPN Services Module into the Catalyst 6500 series switch.
Note All modules, including the supervisor engine (if you have redundant supervisor engines), support hot swapping. You can add, replace, or remove modules without interrupting the system power or causing other software or interfaces to shut down. For more information about hot-swapping modules, refer to the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Module Installation Guide.
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.
To install the WebVPN Services Module into the Catalyst 6500 series switch, perform these steps:
Step 1 Make sure that you take the necessary precautions to prevent ESD damage.
Step 2 Choose a slot for the WebVPN Services Module. See Figure 2 for the slot numbers on a Catalyst 6500 series switch.
Figure 2 Slot Numbers on Catalyst 6500 Series Switches
Step 3 Check that there is enough clearance to accommodate any interface equipment that you will be connecting directly to the supervisor engine or switching module ports.
Note If possible, place switching modules between the empty slots that contain only switching-module filler plates (Cisco part number 800-00292-01).
Warning 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
Step 4 Loosen the captive installation screws that secure the switching module filler plate (or an existing switching module) to the desired slot.
Step 5 Remove the switching module filler plate (or an existing switching module).
Step 6 Hold the handle of the WebVPN Services Module with one hand, and place your other hand under the carrier support. Do not touch the printed circuit boards or connector pins.
Step 7 Place the WebVPN Services Module in the slot. Align the notch on the sides of the switching module carrier with the groove in the slot. (See Figure 3.)
Figure 3 Installing Modules in the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch
Step 8 Keep the WebVPN Services Module at a 90-degree angle to the backplane and carefully slide the WebVPN Services Module into the slot until the switching module faceplate contacts the ejector levers. (See Figure 4 .)
Figure 4 Ejector Levers and Captive Installation Screws
Step 9 Using the thumb and forefinger of each hand, simultaneously push in the left and right levers to fully seat the WebVPN Services Module in the backplane connector.
Caution Always use the ejector levers when installing or removing the WebVPN Services Module. A module that is partially seated in the backplane will cause the system to halt and subsequently crash.
Note If you perform a hot swap, the console displays the message "Module n has been inserted." This message does not appear if you are connected to the Catalyst 6500 series switch through a Telnet session.
Step 10 Use a screwdriver to tighten the captive installation screws on the left and right ends of the WebVPN Services Module.
This completes the WebVPN Services Module installation procedure.
Verifying the Installation
When you install the WebVPN Services Module into the Catalyst 6500 series switch, the module goes through a boot sequence that requires no intervention. At the successful conclusion of the boot sequence, the green STATUS LED will light and remain on. If the STATUS LED is not green, or is a different color, see Table 1 to determine the module's status.
Removing the WebVPN Services Module
This section describes how to remove the WebVPN Services Module from the Catalyst 6500 series switch.
Caution Do not remove the WebVPN Services Module from the switch until the module has shut down completely and the STATUS LED is orange or off. You can damage the module if you remove it from the switch before it completely shuts down.
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.
To remove the WebVPN Services Module, perform these steps:
Step 1 Shut down the module by one of these methods:
•In privileged mode from the router prompt, enter the hw-mod module mod shutdown command.
Note If you enter this command to shut down the module, you will have to enter the following commands in config mode to restart (power down, and then power up) the module:
Router# no power enable module mod
Router# power enable module mod
•If the module does not respond to any commands, press the SHUTDOWN button located on the front panel of the module.
Note Shutdown may require several minutes.
Step 2 Verify that the WebVPN Services Module shuts down. Do not remove the module from the switch until the STATUS LED is off or orange.
Step 3 Use a screwdriver to loosen the captive installation screws at the left and right sides of the module.
Step 4 Grasp the left and right ejector levers. Simultaneously, pull the left lever to the left and the right lever to the right to release the module from the backplane connector.
Step 5 As you pull the module out of the slot, place one hand under the carrier to support it. Avoid touching the module itself.
Step 6 Carefully pull the module straight out of the slot, keeping one hand under the carrier to guide it. Keep the module at a 90-degree orientation to the backplane (horizontal to the floor).
Step 7 Place the removed module on an antistatic mat or antistatic foam.
Warning 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
Step 8 If the slot is to remain empty, install a module filler plate to keep dust out of the chassis and to maintain proper airflow through the module compartment.
