Replacing a NIM
To replace a NIM, follow these steps:
Step 1 To insert a NIM, locate the guide rails that hold the NIM in place. They are at the top left and top right
of the NIM slot and are recessed about an inch.
Step 2 Carefully slide the NIM all the way in using both hands until the NIM is firmly seated in the NIM
interface connector. When fully seated, the NIM might be slightly behind the faceplate.
Step 3 After the NIM is properly seated, fasten the NIM in place with the captive installation screws on either
side of the NIM.
Note Ensure that you screw down the captive installation screws to provide appropriate connectivity.
The NIM should power up after installation.
Step 4 Use the show platform command as shown in Example 7-1 to verify whether the status of subslot 0/2 is
OK.
