Removing and Replacing Parts | 47
NOTE: If you operate your E600i without redundant RPMs, the system enters a software-defined power-down
state when you remove the only RPM for replacement.
NOTE: Your E600i system will not function with fewer than four SFMs.
You can add, replace, or remove modules without interrupting the system power or system operations.
RPMs, line cards, and SFMs are hot-swappable. The E600i system generates major alarm events for
module failures and high temperatures (over 70°C for RPMs and over 80°C for line cards) depending on
the module and whether or not it is redundant. Minor alarms are generated for component temperatures
over 65°C for RPMs and 75°C for line cards. SNMP traps are sent for both alarm types. Refer to
Chapter B, for more details.
To remove and replace RPMs and line cards:
To remove and install an SFM:
Step Task
1Unplug the network interface cables connected to the line card or RPM.
2Loosen the captive screws and pull the ejector levers simultaneously toward you to disengage the backplane
connections.
3Slide the card out of the slot and store the card in the original anti-static packaging.
4If you are immediately installing a replacement card, align the new card with the guide and gently slide the card
into the slot until you feel the connectors engage with the chassis backplane.
If you are not planning to install a new card immediately, install a blank panel.
5If you are installing a line card, follow these procedures:
• If you are hot swapping (replacing the line card with the same card type), no additional configuration is
required.
• If you are installing a different line card type, enter following configuration command:
linecard number card-type where number is a slot number from 0 to 6, and card-type is the five-
character code for the card type. Refer to the <ItalicText>FTOS Command Line Interface Reference for more
information.
• If you are replacing the line card with a blank panel, delete the line card information from the configuration by
entering:
no linecard number
6If you are not operating your system with redundant cards (with only one line card, one RPM, and four SFMs) you
must power off your system until the cards are replaced.
Step Task
1Loosen the captive screw and pull the ejector lever towards you to disengage the backplane connections.
2Slide the card out of the slot and store in the original anti-static packaging. System messages appear on the
console, including the following:
%TSM-6-SFM_REMOVE: Removed SFM
Wait 5 to 10 seconds to install a new SFM or reinsert an SFM. *
3Remove the new SFM from the antistatic packaging.
