Removing CPU/IO Module

Follow the procedure below to remove the CPU/IO module.

The 320Fa-L model is used in the example quoted here. However steps you should take are the same for other models.

1.Stop the CPU/IO module you want to remove.

To this end, use the Server Maintenance Utility of the NEC ESMPRO Agent installed to your server or the Data Viewer of the NEC ESMPRO Manager.

For the detailed procedure, see "Maintenance of NEC Express5800/ft series" of "NEC ESMPRO Agent and Manager" in Chapter 5.

NEC ESMPRO Manager Select [ft] - [CPU Module] - [CPU Module (to be removed)] - [Maintenance] - [Bring Up/Bring Down] - [Bring Down].

Server Maintenance Utility

Select [FTServer] - [CPU Module] - [CPU Module (to be removed)] - [Bring Up/Bring Down] - [Down].

Repeat the operation mentioned above for the IO module and confirm that the status of the CPU/IO module and the IO module are “Removed.”

2.If the module POWER LED of the module to be removed is illuminated, press the module POWER switch to power off the module.

3.<If you are using the tower model>

Unlock the front door lock with the security key to open the front door. <If you are using the rack model>

Unlock the front bezel with the security key and detach it.
