Verifying installation requirements
The installation takes less than 10 minutes. You will
need the following items:
Replacement director blade
Filler panel for each empty slot (ships with the
director blade)
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap
Workstation computer
Phillips screwdriver
Small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers, as
needed (must be ordered separately)
Quad SFP (QSFP) transceivers, as needed (must
be ordered separately)
Extended form-factor pluggable (XFP) transceivers,
as needed, for the FC10-6 only
Optical cables, as needed
Transceiver support
The FC8-64 supports mSFPs only, and is shipped
with them installed.
Except for the FC8-64, all 8 Gb and 16 Gb
blades use B-series SFPs.
CR16-8 and CR16-4 use QSFP transceivers for
ICL connections.
For more information about supported transceivers,

Removing the filler panel
Remove the filler panel, if installed. There are three
filler panel types
(Figure 18 (page

CAUTION:
Remove a filler panel only when
installing or replacing a Director blade. All slots
that are not occupied by a Director blade
require a filler panel to ensure cooling of the
chassis and protection from dust.
To remove a filler panel with a handle:
1.
Unscrew the two captive screws on the filler
panel.
2.
Grasp the handle and remove the filler panel.
To remove a filler panel with ejectors:

the filler panel.

blades that use ejectors and sliders, and the blades
that use ejectors only.
