CONSOLE Port
The CONSOLE port is used for the initial configuration of the Wireless LAN Services Module.
Note The initial Wireless LAN Services Module configuration
must be made through a direct connection to the CONSOLE port. After
the initial configurations, you can make an SSH or Telnet
connection to the module to further configure the module.
STATUS LED
The STATUS LED indicates the operating states of the module. Table 1 describes the STATUS LED operation.
Table 1 STATUS LED Description
FIPS LED
The FIPS LED currently is not used.
SHUTDOWN Button
Do not remove the Wireless LAN Services Module from
the switch until the module has shut down completely and the STATUS
LED is orange. You can damage the module if you remove it from the
switch before it completely shuts down. To avoid corrupting the Wireless LAN Services Module compact flash memory card, you must correctly shut down the Wireless LAN Services Module before you remove it from the chassis or disconnect the power. You can shut down the module by entering the hw-mod module mod shutdown command in privileged mode from the router CLI.
If the Wireless LAN Services Module fails to respond to this command, shut down the module by pressing the SHUTDOWN button on the front panel.
The shutdown procedure may require several minutes. The STATUS LED turns off when the module shuts down.
See the "Removing the Wireless LAN Services Module" section for detailed procedures on shutting down the Wireless LAN Services Module.
System Requirements
Before you install the Wireless LAN Services Module into the Catalyst 6500 series switch, refer to the Release Notes for Catalyst 6500 Series Wireless LAN Mobility Module to make sure that the switch meets the hardware and software requirements.

add, replace, or remove modules without interrupting the system
power or causing other software or interfaces to shut down. For
more information about hot-swapping modules, refer to the
Catalyst
6500 Series
Switch
Module
Installation Guide.

Warning During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to
avoid ESD damage to the card. Do not directly touch the backplane
with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself.
Statement 94
|
To install the Wireless LAN Services Module into the Catalyst 6500 series switch, perform these steps:
Step 1 Make sure that you take the necessary precautions to
prevent ESD damage.
Step 2 Choose a slot for the Wireless LAN Services Module.
See Figure 2 for the slot numbers on a
Catalyst 6500 series switch.
Figure 2 Slot Numbers on Catalyst 6500 Series Switches
Step 3 Check that there is enough clearance to accommodate
any interface equipment that you will be connecting directly to the
supervisor engine or switching module ports.
Note If possible, place switching modules between the empty
slots that contain only switching-module filler plates (Cisco part
number 800-00292-01).
|
Warning 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
|
Step 4 Loosen the captive installation screws that secure the
switching module filler plate (or an existing switching module) to
the desired slot.
Step 5 Remove the switching module filler plate (or an
existing switching module).
Step 6 Hold the handle of the Wireless LAN Services Module
with one hand, and place your other hand under the carrier support.
Do not touch the printed circuit boards or connector pins.
Step 7 Place the Wireless LAN Services Module in the slot.
Align the notch on the sides of the switching module carrier with
the groove in the slot. (See Figure 3.)
Step 8 Keep the Wireless LAN Services Module at a 90-degree
angle to the backplane and carefully slide the Wireless LAN
Services Module into the slot until the switching module faceplate
contacts the ejector levers. (See Figure
4.)
Step 9 Using the thumb and forefinger of each hand,
simultaneously push in the left and right levers to fully seat the
Wireless LAN Services Module in the backplane connector.
Always use the ejector levers when installing or
removing the Wireless LAN Services Module. A module that is
partially seated in the backplane will cause the system to halt and
subsequently crash. Note If you perform a hot swap, the console displays the
message "Module n has been inserted." This message does not
appear if you are connected to the Catalyst 6500 series switch
through a Telnet session.
Step 10 Use a screwdriver to tighten the captive installation
screws on the left and right ends of the Wireless LAN Services
Module.
