Installing the 24-Port FXS Analog Interface Module
Required Tools
These tools are required to install the 24-port FXS analog module in the Catalyst 6500 series switches:
• Number 1 and number 2 Phillips screwdrivers for the captive installation screws
• Antistatic mat or antistatic foam
• Wrist strap or other grounding device
Removing Modules
Caution During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the module. Do not directly
touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself.
Caution To prevent ESD damage, handle modules by the carrier edges only.
To remove a module from a Catalyst 6500 Series Switch, perform these steps:
Step 1 Disconnect any network interface cables attached to the ports on the module you intend to remove.
Step 2 Loosen the captive installation screws, as shown in Figure 3.

Step 3
Grasp the left and right ejector levers and simultaneously pivot the levers outward to release the module
from the backplane connector. Figure 3 shows a close-up of the right ejector lever.
Step 4 Grasp the module front panel with one hand and place your other hand under the carrier to support and
guide it out of the slot. Do not touch the printed circuit boards or connector pins.
Step 5 Carefully pull the module straight out of the slot, keeping your other hand under the carrier to guide it.
Step 6 Place the module on an antistatic mat or antistatic foam, or immediately install it in another slot.
