Installing a Fabric Controller

1.Remove the new Fabric Controller module from the packaging.

2.Ground yourself appropriately.

3.Remove the bezel cover, if you have not already done so.

4.Refer to “Removing a Fabric Controller” on page 42, if a Fabric Controller module is still installed.

5.Remove the blanking panel, if no fabric controller was previously installed.

6.Align the new Fabric Controller module with the bay into which you want to install it.

7.Gently push the Fabric Controller module into the bay as far as you can.

8.When the module is nearly completely installed, press the levers in toward the Fabric Controller until they are flat against the module.

9.Check the LEDs on the Fabric Controller module and the chassis to verify the status. Refer to “Fabric Controller LEDs” on page 70.

10.Tighten the captive screws on both ends of the Fabric Controller module.

Figure 3-11:Tight the Captive Screws

11. Refer to “Upgrading the Controller Card” on page 44.

Upgrading the Controller Card

It is likely that the image version on the new Fabric Controller card will not match the firmware on the rest of the chassis. After the new Fabric Controller module has been installed, upgrade the firmware on the chassis and the new Fabric Controller will be upgraded automatically.

The version of the firmware is verified during the upgrade process. If a module does not need to be upgraded, the module will be skipped and move on to the next module.

The image can be upgraded with the following methods

•“Upgrade the Image with the CLI” on page 45

•“Upgrade the Image with the Chassis Manager” on page 45

•“Upgrade the Image with the Element Manager” on page 45
