McDATA® Sphereon 3032 and 3232 Fabric Switches Installation and Service Manual
FRU Removal and Replacement
RRP: CTP Card - Switch Replacement
Some event codes indicate a CTP card failure, as do some diagnostic
paths through MAPs. The CTP card is not a FRU, and cannot be
replaced. CTP card failure requires replacement of the entire switch.
If the failed switch provides a critical singular link in the fabric, and
that link is still operating, it may be necessary to schedule down-time
for this replacement.
Replacing a Failed
Switch
NOTE: This procedure assumes that the new switch will be installed in the
same location as the failed switch and will be configured the same as the
failed switch.
Replacing a failed switch in an existing fabric requires the following
tasks be done, in order:
1. Remove the failed switch:
— Ensure the failed switch is no longer carrying traffic.
Set the switch offline.
— Using EFCM, remove the switch from the fabric.
Delete the switch from the fabric, using the EFCM product
view.
— Physically disconnect and remove the switch from the
mounting location.
2. Set up the new switch to operate in the fabric:
— Physically mount the new switch in the mounting location.
— Verify that the new switch powers up successfully.
After successful power-on-self-tests, the green PWR LED
remains on and all other front panel LEDs extinguish.
— Set the switch to operate on the LAN:
1. Connect a maintenance terminal to the 9-pin
maintenance port.
2. Using Hyperterminal, connect to the switch.
3. Enter the default password (password).
4. At the C: prompt, type ipconfig and press Enter.
