5.5Switch Board Replacement

The switch boards in the SFCS-1000 are hot-swappable, meaning that they can be removed and replaced with the chassis under power. The proper pro- cedure for hot-swapping a switch board is as follows:

WARNING! It is highly recommended that you use the included grounding strap when handling this, or any other component.

CAUTION Ensure that any unpopulated switch board slots are covered with a blank panel before 5-15turning on your SFCS-1000. Operating the Manual backgroundswitch with any of these slots left open can cause a significant temperature rise in a very

short time.

NOTE: As a precaution, it is recommended that you back up your CDB before performing this process. Instructions for backing up your CDB can be found in Appendix C, AMI Operation Commands, of the Cabletron ATM Switch Configuration Manual.

NOTE: Only replace a switch board with another switch board of the same type (i.e., an SFCS-1000 switch board with an SFCS-1000 switch board).
