EMC Connectrix B Series ED-48000B Hardware Reference Manual
WARNING
Use the same version of Fabric OS on both CP blades. Using different
versions is not supported and might cause malfunctioning. If the
replacement CP blade has a different version of Fabric OS, bring both
blades to the same firmware version.
To install a new CP blade in the empty blade slot (#5 or #6), follow
these steps:
1. Open the ejector handles to approximately 45 degrees; then,
orient the CP blade so that the handles are toward you and the
flat metal side is on your left.
2. Align the flat metal side of the CP blade inside the lower and
upper blade guides in the slot; then, slide the CP blade into the
slot until it is firmly seated.
3. Tighten the thumb screw inside each handle using the Phillips
screwdriver.
4. Turn the CP blade on by sliding the ON/OFF switch in the top
handle up, to cover the thumb screw.
5. Verify that the power LED is green (might require a few seconds).
If not, ensure that the CP blade has power and is firmly seated
and that the ejectors are in the locked position.
6. Connect the modem, serial, and Ethernet cables, as required to
the new CP blade.
The new CP blade automatically assumes the IP address and
hostname assigned to the slot.
7. Verify the installation, as described next.
To verify that boot and POST are complete on the new CP blade (a
minimum of three minutes), and that the CP blades have achieved
failover redundancy:
1. Wait until the status LEDs on both CP blades are not lit.
