NOTE
New WWN cards are shipped preinstalled in the replacement chassis. Do not replace the WWN cards in the
replacement chassis with the old WWN cards from chassis that you are replacing. This will result in licensing
and return materials authorization (RMA) issues for your product. The original license will be transferred to the
replacement chassis, based on the license identification (LID) of the new, preinstalled WWN card, through the
RMA process. You should be provided a license for the new chassis through email. If you have not received this,
contact your Brocade support representative.
