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.
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 6-2 or some other ground point on the chassis.
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.
