Chapter 2. Installing And Replacing A High Speed Switch Module - IBM Brocade FCoE Installation And User Manual

Chapter 2. Installing and replacing a high speed switch
module
This chapter provides instructions for installing a switch module in the BladeCenter unit and for
removing a switch module from the BladeCenter unit. See the documentation for your BladeCenter
unit for information about high-speed module bay locations and the components that can be
installed in them that is specific to your BladeCenter unit type.
The following illustrations show examples of a BladeCenter H (BCH) chassis and a BladeCenter HT
(BCHT) chassis with the high-speed module (HSSM) bays identified. In the BCH, these bays are in
the rear of the BladeCenter chassis. In the BCHT, these bays are in the front of the BladeCenter
chassis.
NOTE
The Brocade FCoE Switch Module is a double-height unit and thus takes up two HSSM bays when
installed.
