Chapter 10 Installing or Replacing Components
Replacing a Supervisor Module
Step 13 If you are inserting the module into a Cisco Nexus 7010 chassis, rotate the module 90 degrees clockwise.
Step 14 Align the module to the chassis guides for the vacated slot (slot 5 or 6 on a Cisco Nexus 7010 chassis or
slot 9 or 10 on a Cisco Nexus 7018 chassis), and slide the module part way into the slot.
Step 15 With one or both hands on the front of the module, push the module all the way into the slot until it seats
on the midplane connector.
Step 16 Slide the module into the slot until it seats on the midplane.
Step 17 Simultaneously push both ejector levers inward until they come in contact with the face of the module.
The module should be fully seated in the slot and the captive screws should be aligned with their holes
in the chassis. The EMI gasket should close the gap between the replacement module and the module in
the next slot.
Step 18 Screw in the two captive screws to the chassis and tighten them to 8 in-lb (0.9 N·m).
Step 19 Reconnect the console cable to the CONSOLE SERIAL PORT as explained in the “Connecting to the
Console” section on page 7-2.
Step 20 (For Supervisor 1 modules only) If the previous supervisor module was connected to an asynchronous
device through a modem, connect the modem cable to the COM1/AUX SERIAL PORT as explained in
the “Connecting to the Console” section on page 7-2.
Step 21 Reconnect the network management cable to the MGMT ETH port as explained in the “Setting Up the
Management Interface” section on page 7-4.
Step 22 (For Supervisor 1 modules only) Reconnect the CMP cable to the CMP MGMT ETH port as explained
in the “Connecting the Supervisor CMP Port” section on page 7-5.
Replacing Supervisor 1 Modules with Supervisor 2 or Supervisor 2E Modules
Before migrating from Supervisor 1 modules to Supervisor 2 or Supervisor 2E modules, note the
following guidelines:
• This migration process is disruptive for switches with one or two supervisor modules because the
power must be turned off for the switch.
• Backward migration procedure (migrating from Supervisor 2 or Supervisor 2E modules to
Supervisor 1 modules) is not provided.
• We recommend that you use Cisco NX-OS Release 5.2 (or later release) on the Supervisor 1 module
while performing the migration.
• You cannot mix Supervisor 2 and Supervisor 2E modules in a production environment (this mix of
modules is supported only while you are migrating from using Supervisor 2 modules to Supervisor
2E modules as explained in the “Replacing Supervisor 2 Modules with Supervisor 2E Modules”
section on page 10-27). You must replace redundant Supervisor 1 modules with either two
Supervisor 2 modules or two Supervisor 2E modules.
• If you plan to enable the admin VDC feature on the Supervisor 2 or Supervisor 2E modules, be sure
to complete the entire migration procedure before enabling this feature (see the Cisco Nexus 7000
Series NX-OS Virtual Device Context Configuration Guide).
