Removing Or Replacing A Switch Module - IBM Brocade 4 Gb SAN Switch Module Installation Manual

v Make sure that the green power LED on the switch module stops
flashing to indicate that the switch logic has completed POST.
11. If you have a second switch module to install, repeat step 5 on page 15
through step 10 on page 16; otherwise, go to step 12.
12. If you are using the external switch-module ports, you can connect an SFP
module option to external Fibre Channel port 0 and Fibre Channel ports
15 through 19. For SFP module installation instructions, see the
documentation that comes with the SFP module.
Note: SFP module options do not come with the switch module but are
required if you want to use external switch-module ports.
13. Use LC-LC or LC-SC fiber-optic cables to connect the switch-module
external ports to external Fibre Channel devices. For more information, see
the documentation that comes with the cable options.
Note: You can remove and replace an SFP module while the switch
module is operating without damaging the switch module or the
SFP module. However, transmission on the affected port will be
interrupted until the SFP module and cables are installed. See the
documentation that comes with the connected Fibre Channel device
for information about installation, configuration, and startup
sequence.
14. Replace the acoustic attenuation module, if you removed it in step 3 on
page 15.
15. Make sure that the ports on the switch module are enabled (click I/O
Module Tasks > Management > Advanced Management > Advanced
Setup in the management-module Web-based interface).

Removing or replacing a switch module

To replace a switch module, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and "Installation
guidelines" on page 12 through "Handling static-sensitive devices" on
page 13.
2. If the BladeCenter unit has an acoustic attenuation module installed,
remove it. See the documentation for the BladeCenter unit for instructions.
3. Disconnect the LC-LC or LC-SC cables from the two external ports on the
SFP module. Removing these cables disrupts the network connection from
the external Fibre Channel port to any connected external Fibre Channel
devices. For removal instructions, see the documentation that comes with
the cable options.
4. Remove any SFP modules from the switch-module external Fibre Channel
ports. For SFP-module removal instructions, see the documentation that
comes with the SFP module.
