Installing a Supervisor Module
To install a supervisor module on a Cisco MDS 9700 Series chassis, follow these steps:
Before you begin
• You must follow the ESD protocols, including the following:
• You must wear a grounded ESD wristband (or other personal grounding device) whenever you
handle the electronic modules outside the grounded chassis.
• You must carry electronic modules only by their covered edges or handles. Do not touch their
electronic components.
• Whenever a module is outside a grounded chassis, place it flat on an antistatic surface or in an
antistatic bag. Never lean the module on anything, or place anything else on top of the module.
• Verify that the chassis is grounded.
