Removing or installing a Fibre Channel interconnect blank

Before you begin

CAUTION:
• Before removing a component or blanking panel from an operational device, make sure that you
have the replacement part available. Removing a component or blank impacts the airflow and
cooling ability of the device. To avoid possible overheating, insert the new or replacement component
within one or two minutes. If the internal temperature exceeds acceptable limits, the device may
overheat and automatically shut down or restart.
• Parts can be damaged by electrostatic discharge. Use proper anti-static protection.
