Note – As long as the switch is removed from the slot, and the system is running with only the single remaining switch, you do not have redundancy for that component. Both switches must be installed and running to have redundancy for that component.
1.8.1.2Removing a Rear Transition Module for a Switch
1.Remove the switch from the front of the server, if you have not already done so.
Refer to “Removing a Switch From the Front of the Server” on page
Note – Opening the handle on the RTM shuts down both the RTM and the switch.
2.Disconnect any cables connected to the rear transition module for the switch.
3.Loosen any retention screws that fasten the module to the enclosure.
4.Open the ejectors fully, rotating the handles outward until the board disengages from the midplane.
5.Slide the module evenly out of the enclosure.
6.Install a replacement rear transition module or a filler panel to maintain the enclosure’s shielding and cooling performance.
Refer to Section 1.8.2.1, “Installing the Rear Transition Module for a Switch” on page
Caution – Failure to cover all rear panel slots with rear transition modules or filler panels can negatively impact the cooling of the system.
