I/O Blades

You can remove and install I/O blades while the switch is operating. The following instructions assume that the switch is operating. If you want to maintain service to the devices connected to a particular blade while it is being replaced, transfer the Fibre Channel cables to another blade. To remove an I/O blade blank panel, simply disengage the latch and slide the blank panel from the switch.

CAUTION! The I/O blade contains sensitive logic components. To avoid damage to the I/O blade, do not touch the I/O blade components.

Keep I/O blades in ESD protective containers or anti-static bags when not in use.

To replace an I/O blade, do the following:

1.Label the Fibre Channel port cables by port number. Ports on each I/O blade are numbered 0-7 from top to bottom. Disconnect the Fibre Channel port cables.

2.Put on an ESD wrist strap, and connect it to the ground jack on the CPU module shown in Figure 6-2or some other ground point on the chassis.
