Chapter 2 Hardware Installation and Removal 23
Replacing the SFP+ Unit on the HBA
The Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP+) optics unit on this card is considered a part
of the card, NOT as a separate field replaceable unit (FRU). Therefore, in the event
that the SFP+ unit malfunctions, you must return the entire card in order to receive
a replacement SFP+ unit. Always return any malfunctioning card with the SFP+ unit
attached. For information about removing the card from a system in order to return
it, see “To Remove the HBA Hardware” on page 24.
