Precautions specific to the blade
This document describes how to remove and replace a control processor (CP) blade. Each device has two
CPX6 blades located in slots 1 and 2.
Observe the following precautions when replacing these blades:
v The CPX6 blade is compatible only with the SAN256B-6.
v Wear an appropriately grounded ESD wrist strap when handling and installing blades and cards.
Follow electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions. Wear a wrist grounding strap connected to chassis
ground (if the chassis is plugged in) or a bench ground.
v Install CPX6 blades in slots 1 and 2, which are half the height of other slots in the device.
v The firmware upgrade policy for CP blades specifies testing for the current Fabric OS release and one
version earlier. It is possible to upgrade by more than one version, but it is a very specific and detailed
process. Read the directions under "Downloading firmware from USB device" on page 144 and
"Downloading firmware from FTP server" on page 143 carefully.
v If the new CP blade does not have the same firmware as the active CP blade, the new blade must be
upgraded to the same firmware version. After installing the new blade, you can determine the
firmware version on the replacement blade and use the firmwaresync command to allow the active CP
blade to copy current firmware to the replaced standby CP blade, if necessary. However, you must
disable high availability (HA) before inserting the new blade.
CAUTION:
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megaohm resistor.
CAUTION:
If you do not install a module or a power supply in a slot, you must keep the slot filler
panel in place. If you run the chassis with an uncovered slot, the system will overheat.
