Replacing I/O Blades

5–Customer Replaceable Units Replacing I/O Blades

You can remove and install I/O blades while the switch is operating. The following instructions assume that the switch is operating. If you want to maintain service to the devices connected to a particular blade while it is being replaced, transfer the Fibre Channel cables to another I/O blade. Mechanically, these instructions also apply to removing and installing a I/O blade blank panel.

The following removal and installation procedures describe how to remove an I/O blade using the CLI. Refer to the SANbox 9000 Series Stackable Chassis Switch Command Line Interface Guide for information about the CLI commands.

CAUTION!

Always use an ESD wrist strap when removing and installing an I/O blade. An I/O blade contains sensitive logic components. Keep the I/O blade in an ESD protective container or anti-static bag when not in use.

ATTENTION!

Portez toujours un bracelet antistatique lors du retrait et de l'installation d'une lame d'E/S. Les lames d'E/S contiennent des composants logiques sensibles. Lorsque vous ne l'utilisez pas, conservez la lame d'E/S dans un conteneur ou un sachet antistatique.

VORSICHT!

Benutzen Sie immer ein ESD-Handgelenkband, wenn Sie eine E/A-Steckkarte entfernen oder installieren. Eine E/A-Steckkarte enthält empfindliche Steuerkomponenten. Bewahren Sie die E/A- Steckkarte in einem ESD-Schutzcontainer oder Antistatikbeutel auf, wenn sie nicht benutzt wird.

¡PRECAUCIÓN!

Utilice siempre una muñequera antiestática cuando elimine e instale una placa de E/S. Una placa de E/S contiene componentes lógicos sensibles. Guarde la placa de E/S en un contenedor protector ESD o en una bolsa antiestática cuando no se utilice.
