Preparing a Fabric Interconnect for Removal
Note
Preparing a Fabric Interconnect for Removal
Removing a standby fabric interconnect is non-disruptive in a redundant Cisco UCS configuration. Removing
an active fabric interconnect will cause the standby fabric interconnect to become active with minimal or no
disruption.
Caution Be aware that if you remove both the active and standby fabric interconnect, or the sole fabric interconnect
from a standalone system, you are shutting down the entire Cisco UCS domain.
Procedure
Step 1 Use Cisco UCS Manager to perform the following tasks:
a) Back up your Cisco UCS Manager configuration.
b) Shut down the OS on all servers in the Cisco UCS domain.
c) Disable the Smart Call Home feature in the Cisco UCS domain.
d) Decommission every attached chassis in the Cisco UCS domain.
For details, see the Configuration Guide for the version of Cisco UCS Manager that you are using. The
configuration guides are available at this URL:
servers-unified-computing/ucs-manager/products-installation-and-configuration-guides-list.html.
Step 2 Power down every attached chassis as described in the
Guide.
When powering down and removing clustered fabric interconnects, remove the secondary fabric interconnect
first, and then remove the primary fabric interconnect.

Caution
The slider rail and front rack-mount brackets do not have a stop mechanism when sliding in and out. If the
front of the chassis is unfastened from the rack and the chassis slides forward on the slider rails, it may slip
off the end of the rails and fall out of the rack.
