Note: The time stamp on the co-CPU may not be in sync with the main CPU on the blade. This is
not a cause for concern.
8. Log back in to the standby CP blade and enter firmwareDownloadStatus on the standby CP blade to
validate a successful commit. This may take 10 minutes.
9. If you are upgrading through several levels of the Fabric OS, repeat step 5 through step 8 as often as
necessary based on the path outlined in the preceding table. Otherwise, proceed to step 10.
10. Log out of the standby CP blade and log in to the active CP blade.
11. Proceed to the procedures to "Completing the replacement."

Cold-swap procedure

|
Use this procedure to replace both CP blades while the device power is off. You must power off the
|
device to replace both CP blades. To replace a single blade, refer to the hot-swap replacement procedures.
|

Removing a blade

|
Use the following procedure to power down the device and remove CP blades. You can replace a single
|
|
CP blade or both blades one at a time using the hot-swap procedure.
Procedure
|
1. Be sure to perform all steps under "Preparing for replacement" on page 138.
|
|
2. Power down the device.
3. Remove the chassis door.
|
4. Disconnect all cables from the CP blades.
|
5. Loosen the captive screws for each ejector handle on the blade using a #1 Phillips screwdriver.
|
Loosening the screws initiates a hot-swap request and disconnects power from the blade. The
|
spring-loaded captive screws will pop out from the slot .63 cm (.25 in.) when fully disengaged. Do not
|
eject the blade using blade handles until screws disengage from slot and the power LED is off.
|
6. Grasp each ejector handle on blade and simultaneously pull the handles away from the blade to
|
|
approximately 45 degrees. As you move the handles, you will hear connectors disengaging from the
backplane connector and possibly a slight popping noise. This is normal and is due to the dense
|
backplane. The blade will move out approximately 1.27 cm (.5 in.) from the slot when fully
|
disengaged.
|
7. Slowly pull the blade from the slot. Do not support blade fully using injector handles after removal.
|
As you slide out the blade, place one hand under blade for support. Be sure blade has cooled
|
|
sufficiently to touch.
|
CAUTION:
To avoid damaging blade and chassis, do not push the blade into a slot or pull the blade from a
|
|
slot using the ejector handles.
