2.7.3 Spine Modules

Use only Switch-IB™ and Switch-IB™ 2 based ASICs, Do NOT use replacement
parts based on different generations of chipsets.
All replacement modules must be consistent with the chassis family and switch chip
generation.
When hot swapping any of the units, it is necessary to wait 1 minute after removing the
defective part before inserting the new part. This is necessary so that the management
module will start a new cycle checking through the leafs and spines for the FW ver-
sions.
Each spine has a pair of ejectors that lock the module in place and serve as levers for seating or
extracting (see Figure
Management module 1 is connected to spine module 1, and management module 2 is connected
to spine module 2. All of the spine modules can be hot-swapped when these two management
modules are installed and working.
When a slave management module is not installed or not working, the spine module
connected to the master management module cannot be hot-swapped.
Spine module slots are numbered from top to bottom from S1 to S9 on both sides of the chassis.

Do not apply excessive force to slide in the leaf module. If you feel resistance,
remove the leaf module and double check both the chassis and leaf for any damage.
