SAN384B-2 Installation, Service, and User Guide
1. Verify that the blade is the correct part.
2. Verify which slot to install the blade. Slots are numbered from one through
eight, from bottom to top, when facing the port side of the SAN384B-2s.
Encryption blades can be installed in any of the slots 1, 2, 7, or 8. Up to four
FS8-18 encryption blades can be installed in a single chassis.
3. We recommend having the latest firmware version on the CP blade. The
firmware version should match on both the active and the backup CP blades.
If the firmware is not at the latest level, obtain new code from the code
download website, and install it prior to installing the port blade. See "Fabric
OS firmware updates" on page 48 for instructions.
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 and installing port,
application, and encryption blades" on page 70 and "Removing and installing
blade filler panels" on page 72.
Attention: A filler panel should be removed only when being replaced with
a blade or new filler panel. Any slot that is not occupied by a blade should be
occupied by a filler panel to ensure correct cooling of the chassis and
protection from dust.
5. Install the encryption blade ("Installing a blade" on page 72 ). Remove the
protective strip from the blade contacts (if any) before installing the blade.
6. Repeat steps 1-5 for additional blades, if any.
7. Install the transceivers ("Removing and installing transceivers" on page 89 ),
and confirm the proper operation of the blade.
8. 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.
9. 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.
