a list of approved browsers, see the Cisco Prime NAM Release Notes.
If the Cisco Prime NAM web server is properly configured, you can access the NAM login window.
At this point, the only user able to log into the NAM web server is the administrative user that you
configured when you enabled the web server. There is no secondary user option. To configure additional
users, see the Prime NAM Command Reference Guide or the Prime NAM User Guide on Cisco.com.

Replacing a Cisco Nexus 7009 Fabric Module During Operations
The Cisco Nexus 7009 switch has up five fabric modules located on the front of the chassis. You can
replace one of these fabric modules at a time while the switch is operating.
You should replace a fabric module with another fabric module within a couple minutes to maintain the
designed system airflow. If you cannot replace the fabric module, you must fill the slot with a blank
module.
Warning
Hazardous voltage or energy is present on the backplane when the system is operating. Use caution
when servicing.
Statement 1034
Caution Make sure that you wear an ESD wrist strap while you handle each fabric module. Hold the module only
on its carrier edges without touching any electronic circuitry, and place it on antistatic mats or repack it
in its original packing materials when it is not installed in the chassis.
To replace a fabric module, follow these steps:
Step 1 Place an antistatic mat or antistatic foam where you can place the fabric modules. Choose a place that
prevents damage to the module while it is outside the chassis.
Step 2 Unpack and place the replacement fabric module on the antistatic mat or antistatic foam.
Step 3 Slide the eject button cover up and press the eject button. The ejector lever will pop out from the front
of the fabric module.
Step 4 Rotate the ejector lever away from the front of the module and pull the module part way from the chassis.
Step 5 Place your other hand under the module, fully pull the module from the chassis, and place the module
on an antistatic surface.
Step 6 On the replacement module, if the ejector lever is placed against the front of the module, slide the eject
button cover up, press the eject button, and fully rotate the ejector lever away from the front of the
module.
