✏NOTE

If you do not replace the switch module, you must insert a filler module into the empty bay within 1 minute.

6.Slide the switch module out of the bay and set it aside. Within 1 minute, place either another switch module or a filler module in the bay.

✏NOTE

To make sure that the switch module is active after you replace it, see step 11 on page 16 and step 12 on page 16.

7.If you placed another switch module into the bay and if you are using the external switch-module ports, insert any SFP modules that you removed in step 4 on page 14 into external Fibre Channel port 0 and Fibre Channel port 15. For SFP module installation instructions, see the documentation that comes with the SFP module.
