Cisco Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series 7600 Series Wireless Services Module (WiSM) Guía De Instalación

Your own electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap or the disposable ESD strap included with 
the system

Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to 
hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) 
that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not 
operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place. 
Statement 1029

This section describes how to install the WiSM in the Catalyst 6500 series switches or the Cisco 7600 
series routers. 

To prevent ESD damage, handle modules by the carrier edges only and wear grounding wrist straps.

Specific combinations of supervisor engines and modules may not be supported in your chassis. Refer 
to the release notes of the software version running on your system for specific information on modules 
and supervisor engine combinations that are not supported.

To install the WiSM in the chassis, follow these steps:

Choose a slot for the WiSM. 

Verify that there is enough clearance to accommodate any interface equipment that you will connect 
directly to the WiSM ports. If possible, place modules between empty slots that contain only module 
filler plates.

Verify that the captive installation screws are tightened on all modules installed in the chassis. This 
assures that the EMI gaskets on all modules are fully compressed in order to maximize the opening space 
for the new module or the replacement module. 

If the captive installation screws are loose, the EMI gaskets on the installed modules will push 
adjacent modules toward the open slot, reducing the opening size and making it difficult to 
install the replacement module.

Remove the module filler plate by removing the two Phillips pan-head screws from the filler plate. 
To remove a module, see the 

.

Fully open both ejector levers on the WiSM. (See 

.)

Depending on the orientation of the slots in the chassis (horizontal or vertical), perform one of the 
following two sets of substeps.
