Removing an interface module
To remove an interface module, first perform the steps in section
following steps.
1.
Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by inserting the plug into the ESD connector located in the lower right corner of
the chassis front.
2.
Use the #2 Phillips-head or flathead screwdriver to loosen the two screws on the ends of the module.
3.
Pull the card ejectors towards you, and away from the module front panel. This action unseats the module from the backplane.
4.
Pull the module out of the chassis, and place in an anti-static bag for storage if desired.
5.
If you plan to replace the removed module with a different type of module, you must first remove the module configuration. To
do so, enter the no module slotnum command at the global CONFIG level of the CLI, then save the configuration to flash
memory. For example,
device(config)# no module 4
device(config)# exit
device# write mem
NOTE
If you attempt to insert a module of a different type without first removing the previous module configuration, the
system will display an error message.
6.
Install a new module in the slot. For information about performing this task, refer to
129.
CAUTION
If you do not install a module or a power supply in a slot, you must keep the slot filler panel in place. If you run the
chassis with an uncovered slot, the system will overheat.
Installing a new interface module
You can install an interface module in the FSX 800 and FSX 1600 chassis while the chassis is powered on and running.
NOTE
Interface modules are interchangeable among all FastIron X Series devices. However, if you install them in a Brocade device
other than a FastIron X Series device, the device and interface modules will not function properly.
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megaohm resistor.
