8. Slide the switch module into the applicable I/O-module bay until it stops.
The following example shows a vertical orientation for installing a Fibre Channel switch module
in the blade server chassis.
9. Push the release lever on the front of the switch module to the closed position.
10. Power on the switch module. POST occurs to verify that the switch module is operating
correctly.
Note: To maintain proper airflow, make sure that the ventilation areas on the sides of the switch
module are not blocked.
Note: The switch module takes approximately 60 seconds to complete the POST. When the switch
module is powered on, an LED test occurs. All LEDs are lit and remain lit for approximately 5
seconds; then, all the LEDs except the OK LED will turn off. The Power LED flashes to indicate a
normal POST condition; then, POST proceeds as described in the next step.
11. Make sure that the LEDs on the switch module indicate that it is operating correctly (see
"Information LEDs" on page 16).
• When the POST starts, make sure that the green Power LED on the switch module is
flashing. The POST tests the condition of firmware, memory, data paths, and switch logic
and uses the fault LED to indicate pass or fail conditions.
• Make sure that the green Power LED on the switch module stops flashing to indicate that the
switch logic has completed POST.
12. If you have a second switch module to install, repeat step 5 on page 11 through step 11;
otherwise, go to step 13
13. If you are using the external switch-module ports, you can connect an SFP module option to
external Fibre Channel port 0 and Fibre Channel ports 15 through 19. For SFP module
installation instructions, see the documentation that comes with the SFP module.
Note: SFP module options do not come with the switch module but are required if you want to use
external switch module ports.
