Brocade Communications Systems DCX 8510-4 manual Critical information checklist

5 Brocade DCX 8510-4 chassis removal and replacement

•Intermittent FAULTY codes for blades. Re-seat the blade and visually inspect the right-hand ejector stiffening rail for possible wear or damage. It is important that the blade ejector handles not slip out during blade installation. If this happens, it is usually due to excessive wear or damage to the right-hand ejector stiffening rail.

•The psShow or fanShow commands continue to show a faulty component even though the component was replaced.

•The slotShow command continues to show a faulty control processor, core switch, or port blade even though the blade was replaced.
