Removing The Existing16-Port Card - HP StorageWorks 2/64 - Core Switch Installation Manual

Removing the existing16-port card

You can identify a failed 16-port card by inspecting its LEDs and by using CLI commands to
verify status. Refer to
CAUTION:
grounding connection above the power connectors. Hold the 16-port card by the edges of the
metal pan. Do not use the ejectors to hold or carry a 16-port card.
Disassembling any part of a 16-port card or filler panel voids the part warranty and regulatory
certifications. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the 16-port card or filler panel
NOTE: Before removing any cables from the faulty 16-port card make a note of cable order
by referring a cable to the physical port; this reduces confusion during recabling. If multiple
16-port cards are being replaced, replace one card at a time. Before replacing a 16-port
card, determine if it is the entire card or the SFPs that are faulty.
To remove a 16-port card, follow these steps:
1. Ensure that traffic is not flowing through the 16-port card (port LEDs should be off) prior to
disconnecting cables.
2. Disconnect any cables and SFP transceivers from the 16-port card.
3. Turn the 16-port card off by sliding the ON/OFF switch in the top handle down.
NOTE: You can also send hot-swap notification from the CLI using the commands
slotPowerOff and slotPowerOn.
4. Wait for the Power LED to turn off in response to the hot-swap request before uninstalling
the 16-port card.
5. Unscrew the captive screws from both handles.
6. Open both ejectors to approximately 45 degrees, and pull the 16-port card out of the
chassis.
NOTE: If you inadvertently relatch the ejectors prior to removing the 16-port card, wait at
least one second prior to unlatching the ejectors again.
7. If you are not replacing the card with another 16-port card, install a filler panel to ensure
correct cooling of the chassis and protection from dust. (See
page 97 for more information.)
