Installation Guidelines
Observe the following cautionary guidelines when installing the Policy Feature Card 4 or Policy Feature Card 4XL:
3
Caution
If you have redundant supervisor engines, you must install the same policy feature card on each
•
supervisor engine. The hardware on both the supervisor engines in a single chassis must be identical.
You must shut down the switch to install the policy feature card, even if you have redundant supervisor
•
engines.
Ensure that the policy feature card is securely seated before you install and tighten the cap nut and
•
the securing screws. If you use the screws to forcibly seat the policy feature card, the card might
warp.
You must use all the screws. The screws provide grounding between the policy feature card and the
•
supervisor engine. Failure to use and tighten all screws will invalidate the safety approval and pose
a fire and electrical hazard.
Use care not to damage the connectors on the supervisor engine. If you damage a connector, you
•
will have to return the supervisor engine to Cisco for repair.
Always use an ESD wrist strap when handling modules or coming into contact with internal
•
components.
Preparing the Supervisor Engine
To prepare Cisco Supervisor Engine 2T before you install or remove Policy Feature Card 4 or Policy Feature Card 4XL, perform
these steps:
Before You Begin
Always use an ESD wrist strap when handling modules or coming into contact with internal components.Caution
Procedure
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
