Remove a Fabric Card
Procedure
Step 1
If you are replacing a fabric card, open the packaging for the new module and inspect it for damage.
If the module is damaged, alert the Technical Assistance Center (TAC) and stop this replacement process
until you have an undamaged module to install.
Step 2 To prevent loss of packets during operations, shut down the fabric card as follows:
a) Shut the fabric control plane using the controller fabric plane <plane-id> shutdown command.
There are eight planes and the value of the <plane-id> is between 0–7.
When you are replacing the card, shut down the corresponding fabric plane of the card. For example,
when you are replacing the card in slot 0 (0/FC0), shut down fabric plane 0.
b) Run the shutdown location 0/FClocation command.
c) Verify that the Fabric LED for the slot that you specified turns off. Also, you can use the show platform
command to verify that the status of the card is SHUT DOWN.
Since the Fan trays are blocking the view, Fabric card LEDs might not be visible. Therefore, you can
verify the Fabric card LEDs status using show led location 0/FClocation command.
Step 3 Remove the fan tray covering the fabric card in the chassis.
Refer the fan tray removal
Step 4 Remove the fabric card that you are replacing by following these steps:
a) Unscrew the two captive screws on the center of each of the two handles on the fabric card (see Callout
1 in the following figure).
b) Rotate the handles outwards until they stop (see Callout 2 in the following figure).
c) With each of the two handles in your two hands, pull the module a couple of inches (about 5 cm) out of
the slot (see the following figure).
