Port, Application, And Encryption Blade - IBM System Storage SAN384B-2 Installation, Service And User Manual

5. Ensure that the part number on the unit being installed matches the
replacement part number (unless you are performing an upgrade). The
chassisShow command displays information about the blades, including part
numbers, serial numbers, and additional status.
6. Ensure that traffic is not flowing through the blade (port status LED should be
off) prior to disconnecting cables.
Note: Before removing any cables from a blade, note the cable order (identify
each cable by its physical port). If multiple blades are being installed,
install one blade at a time. Labeling the cables before removal is
recommended. It is a good practice to keep a table of cable to port
mapping.
7. Disconnect all cables and transceivers from the blade. For mSFP transceivers
(FC8-64 only), it is recommended that you use the pull tab to remove the
transceiver from the blade before removing the cable from the transceiver.
8. Unscrew the two thumbscrews from the left and right ejectors on the blade
using the Phillips screwdriver. Unscrew the left thumbscrew until it pops out.
This initiates a hot-swap request.
9. Wait for the power LED to turn off in response to the hot-swap request before
removing the blade.
10. Open the ejectors by pulling them toward the center of the blade face. Pull the
blade out of the chassis using the ejectors (Figure 33).

"Installing a filler panel" on page 73.
