SAN384B-2 Installation, Service, and User Guide
Note: Firmware downloads require that Ethernet connections be made to both
CP blades. Procedures for downloading and installing firmware are
described in the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide.
4. Remove the filler panel or port blade. Refer to "Removing a port or application
blade" on page 70 or "Removing and installing blade filler panels" on page 72.
Attention: A filler panel should be removed only when being replaced with a
port blade or new filler panel. Any slot that is not occupied by a port blade
should be occupied by a filler panel to ensure correct cooling of the chassis and
protection from dust.
5. Follow the instructions for "Installing a blade" on page 72.
6. Follow the instructions for "Removing and installing transceivers" on page 89.
Because of port density, it may be easier to remove and install the SFP+
transceivers while the 32-port or 48-port blade is out of the chassis. However,
you must handle the blade carefully while it is out of the chassis to avoid
damaging the blade and the transceivers.
7. Install, group, and route the cables as desired. See "Managing cables" on page
44 for additional cabling instructions.
Attention: Do not route cables in front of the exhaust vent, which is located at
the top on the port side of the chassis.
8. Verify the installation. For information about how to check the status of
hardware components using the CLI, see the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide,
which is located on the product documentation CD.
This feature 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.
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 FC3864 in the SAN384B-2 chassis.
