Removing a CFC or DFC Daughter Card
Note The MEM-XCEF720-1GB memory upgrade is required for the DFC3BXL upgrade only and is included
as part of the DFC3BXL daughter card kit only.
These tools and supplies are required to remove and install the DFC3 daughter card:
•Antistatic mat or foam pad to support the removed module and an antistatic bag to store the removed
Central Forwarding Card (CFC) or DFC daughter card
•Your own ESD-prevention equipment or the disposable grounding wrist strap included in the
upgrade kit
•Number 1 Phillips-head screwdriver for the DFC daughter card installation hardware
Removing a CFC or DFC Daughter Card
If your Ethernet module has either a CFC or a DFC daughter card installed, you must remove the old
CFC or DFC daughter card before installing the new DFC daughter card. The folowing procedures are
provided:
•Removing the CFC Daughter Card, page 9
•Removing the DFC3 Daughter Card, page 11
Note An additional procedure for removing DFC3 daughter cards is provided for daughter cards installed on
early versions of the WS-X6748-GE-TX Ethernet module that are equipped with stiffener brackets.
Removing the CFC Daughter Card
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 remove a CFC daughter card, follow these steps:
Step 1 Attach an ESD grounding strap to your wrist and to ground.
If you are unsure about the correct way to attach an ESD grounding strap, refer to the “Attaching Your
ESD Grounding Strap” section on page 42 for instructions.
Step 2 Remove the Ethernet module from the Catalyst 6500 series switch.
If you are unsure about the correct procedure for removing a module from the switch chassis, refer to
the “Removing and Installing Ethernet Modules in the Chassis” section on page 34 for removal
instructions.
Step 3 Place the Ethernet module on an antistatic mat with the front of the module facing toward you.
Step 4 Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the installation hardware, which consists of three securing
screws and the two cap nuts. (See Figure 1.)

Step 5 To unseat the CFC daughter card from the Ethernet module, hold each tab at the rear of the CFC daughter
card between your thumb and index finger, and gently press down on both tabs until the connectors are
unseated. (See Figure 2.)
Caution Do not apply too much pressure on the tabs because you might cause damage to the module.
