5–Customer Replaceable Units Replacing CPU Blades

5.Observe the new primary CPU blade Heartbeat LED. It should blink once per second. If the Heartbeat LED is showing a different blink pattern, refer to diagnostic procedures in the installation guide, or contact your authorized maintenance provider.

6.Install the new secondary CPU blade. Remove protective coverings from the backplane connectors. Open the CPU blade latch and slide the CPU blade into the chassis until it makes contact with the midplane connector. Rotate the latch to lock the CPU blade in place. When the switch becomes operational, the firmware and switch configuration will automatically transfer to the new CPU blade. Upgrading firmware will take a few minutes and complete by resetting the CPU blade.

7.Reconnect the Ethernet, serial port, and HyperStack cables.

8.Log in to the switch again using the original IP address.

9.Observe the CPU blade Heartbeat LED. It should blink once per second. If the Heartbeat LED is showing a different blink pattern, refer to “Error Code Blink Patterns” on page 4-2for diagnostic information.

10.Verify the POST results. Open a Telnet session and enter the Show Blade command to display the diagnostic status for the CPU blade.

Fault Tolerant – Primary CPU Blade Replacement

With a switch that is licensed for Fault Tolerance, you can transfer control to the secondary CPU blade, then remove the primary CPU blade; or simply remove the primary CPU blade while the switch is running–control transfers automatically.

You can determine the primary CPU by locating the illuminated CPU Primary LED. You can also determine the primary CPU blade, by entering the Show Blade command and looking for the “+” opposite the primary CPU blade.

1.Enter the Show Version command to verify that SecondaryCPUStatus is HotStandby. Control will not transfer unless the secondary CPU status is HotStandby.

Optional: Enter the Switchover CLI command to explicitly transfer control to the secondary CPU blade, then proceed to “Secondary CPU Blade Replacment” on page 5-11. Otherwise, proceed to Step 2.

2.Disconnect the Ethernet, serial, and HyperStack cables from the primary CPU blade.

3.Rotate the latch to the partial open position until the blue Hotswap LED begins flashing. Wait for the Hotswap LED to illuminate continuously, then open the latch fully and pull the CPU blade by the latch to disengage the blade from the midplane. The secondary CPU blade automatically becomes primary.
