Note: The device must be removed from the fabric and powered off to perform
these tasks. Contact your support provider if you have any questions about
whether the chassis requires replacement.

Disconnecting the cables
About this task
Procedure
1. Power off the chassis by removing the power cords from the power supplies
and the power outlets.
2. Remove the chassis door.
3. Label the cables connected to all blades and record the connections. Per
connection, identify the slot and port, the device connected, and the slot or port
on the connected device.
4. Disconnect the cables from the transceivers in extension, port, and core routing
blades and set them aside. For transceivers with integrated cables, remove the
transceivers and cables together and set them aside. Transceivers without
integrated cables can be left in the blades or removed.
5. Disconnect all cables from the CP blades.
Removing components from the chassis
About this task
Follow electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when removing components. Wear
a wrist grounding strap connected to chassis ground (if the device is plugged in)
or a bench ground.
Note: You do not need to remove WWN cards from the chassis as new WWN
cards are shipped with the replacement chassis.
When removing components, Wear a wrist grounding strap connected to bench
ground.
