Attention: Refer to "Safety notices and labels" on page xv before performing any
service or installation procedures.
The SAN384B-2 can be upgraded with any of the following hot-pluggable features
while the SAN384B-2 is operational. Refer to the individual feature installation
instructions for any possible exceptions.
Use this chapter as a starting point when installing new features on an existing
SAN384B-2. Specific installation procedures are linked from each feature code
installation on this page to the appropriate sections in the Chapter 5, "Removing
and installing components," on page 67 chapter.

These features can be installed while the SAN384B-2 is operational.
Attention: Follow these precautions for all procedures in this section to avoid
damaging the port blades or chassis:
v Wear a grounded ESD strap when handling a port blade (see "ESD precautions"
on page xxi).
v Carefully remove the protective strip (if any) covering the blade connectors
before installing any blades.
v Do not force the port blade installation. If the port blade does not slide in easily,
ensure that it is correctly aligned inside the rail guides before continuing.
Installing a port blade with incorrect alignment damages both the chassis and
the replacement part.
v Hold the port blade by the edges of the metal pan. Do not use the ejectors to
hold a port blade.
v Disassembling any part of a port blade voids the part warranty and regulatory
certifications. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the port blade.
These instructions cover installing a new FC3632 or FC3648 in the SAN384B-2
chassis.
20 minutes or less per port blade.
