Figure 62. Removal and replacement of the control processor blade (CPX6)
8. If the blade is not being replaced by another blade, install a filler panel and reinstall the chassis door.
|
The filler panel is required for proper chassis cooling. The door is required to meet EMI compliance.

Installing a blade
|
About this task
|
Use the following steps to install both CP blades when the device power is off (cold-swap procedure).
|
Procedure
|
1. Open the ejector handles completely to approximately 45 degrees. Orient the blade so that the
|
handles are toward you and the flat metal side is facing down.
|
2. Follow these steps to insert each blade into the slot.
|
|
a. Align the blade in the slot with the flat metal side of the blade at the bottom (blade power and
status LEDs are on the left).
|
b. Carefully slide the blade into the slot using your thumbs on the blade face. When the blade is
|
about 2.54 cm (1 in.) from the chassis, you should feel resistance as the blade connectors meet the
|
backplane connectors.
|
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.
c. Continue pushing with your thumbs until the ejectors move in towards the blade slightly
|
indicating that the connectors are engaged.
|
d. Push the ejector handles fully in towards the blade to seat it completely in the slot. As you move
|
|
the handles, you will hear connectors engaging the backplane connector and possibly a slight
popping noise. This is normal and is due to the dense backplane.
|
3. Tighten the captive for each ejector using a #1 Phillips screwdriver.
|
Note: Be sure that captive screws are tightened. If not, high pressure from fan operation may unseat
|
blade from chassis connectors.
