InfiniBand FDR Switch Platform Hardware User Manual
7. Applying equal pressure on both sides of the leaf board, slowly slide the board into
the chassis until the ejector handle reaches the vertical bar.
8. Catch the hook onto the vertical bar of the chassis and push the ejector handle shut.
9. Lock the ejector handle onto the board.
1.10.3 Spine Boards
Each spine has a pair of ejectors that lock the board in place and serve as levers for seat-
ing or extracting (see Figure 41).
Management board #1 is connected to spine board #1, and management board #2 is con-
nected to spine board #2. When a slave management board is not installed or not
working, the spine board connected to the master management board cannot be
hot-swapped. All of the spine boards can be hot-swapped when two management boards
are installed and working.

Do not apply excessive force to slide in the leaf board. If you feel resistance, remove
the leaf board and double check both the chassis and leaf for any damage.
Do NOT mix replacement parts based on different generations of chip.
Do not install InfiniScale IV based replacement parts within a SwitchX® based chas-
sis and vice versa. All Replacement modules must be consistent with the Chassis fam-
ily and switch chip generation.
When hot swapping any of the units, it is necessary to wait 1 minute after removing the
defective part before inserting the new part. This is necessary so that the management
module will start a new cycle checking through the leafs and spines for the FW ver-
sions.
When more than one spine slot is empty always insert the lowest spine board first, then
work your way up.
If you need to replace the bottom spine and it does not go in, try removing one or two
spines above it and then insert the spines from the bottom up.
