Installing A Switch Module - IBM Brocade 4 Gb SAN Switch Module Installation Manual

Installing a switch module

To install a switch module, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and "Installation
guidelines" on page 12 through "Handling static-sensitive devices" on
page 13.
2. If you have not already done so, touch the static-protective package that
contains the switch module to any unpainted metal surface of the
BladeCenter chassis or any unpainted metal surface on any other grounded
rack component in the rack in which you are installing the switch module
for at least 2 seconds.
3. Remove the acoustic attenuation module option, if one is installed, from
the rear of the BladeCenter unit. For more information, see the
documentation that came with the BladeCenter unit.
4. Select only I/O-module bay 3 or bay 4 in which to install the switch
module.
Note: For details about I/O-module bay requirements and bay locations,
see the documentation for the BladeCenter unit and blade servers.
5. Remove the filler module from the selected bay. Store the filler module for
future use.
6. Remove the switch module from its static-protective package.
7. Make sure that the release lever on the switch module is in the open
position (perpendicular to the module).
