Replacing A 10Gbe Multi-Fabric Nem - Sun Microsystems Dual Release Notes

Replacing a 10GbE Multi-Fabric NEM

If an Multi-Fabric NEM fails, you will need to replace it.
Caution – The NEM should be replaced immediately after it fails.
The Multi-Fabric NEM is a Customer Replaceable Unit (CRU). You replace the entire
module. There are no subcomponents that you can replace.
You can remove and replace a 10GbE Multi-Fabric NEM from a powered-on chassis
using a hot-swap operation, as well as from a powered-off chassis.
Caution – Before you remove the NEM from the chassis, you should pause or shut
down any active I/O that passes through the NEM.
Note – The blue Ready to Remove LED on the NEM is not operational. To help
identify a NEM that you plan to remove, you can illuminate the white Locate LED
using the proxy CLI. For more information, refer to the Sun Blade 6000 10GbE Multi-
Fabric Network Express Module User's Guide.
