Note: Before removing any cables from a blade, note the cable order (identify
each cable by its physical port). If multiple blades are being installed,
install one blade at a time. Labeling the cables before removal is
recommended.
Note: If multiple blades are being replaced, replace one blade at a time.

For mSFP transceivers(FC8-64 only), it is recommended that you use the pull
tab to remove the transceiver from the blade before removing the cable from
the transceiver.
8. Perform the appropriate action based on the type of blade:
v For FC8-16, FC8-32, FC8-48, and FC8-64, port blades and the FX8-24 and
FCOE10-24 application blades: Unscrew the two thumbscrews from the left
and right ejectors on the blade using the Phillips screwdriver. Unscrew the
left thumbscrew until it pops out. This initiates a hot-swap request. Adjust
the ejectors to the open position (Figure 33),
v For FC10-6 port blade and FR4-18i router blades: Turn the blade off by
sliding the slider switch in the left ejector to the right, to the off position.
This initiates a hot-swap request.
