    The U773 12-Port Fibre Channel Switch U773 fibre channel switches are housed in an Emulex tray and secured to the tray by a Stratus-supplied AK-000576 (revision 001) mounting hardware kit. The bracket in the kit allows for the removal of either switch while the system is online. When replacing a U773 switch that is not secured by an AK-000576 kit, you must take the system off-line because you must remove both switches and the tray.
