The following example shows a vertical orientation for installing a Fibre
Channel switch module in the BladeCenter unit.
Note: For information about installing a Fibre Channel switch module in
other types of BladeCenter units, see the documentation that comes
with the BladeCenter unit.
8. Slide the switch module into the applicable I/O-module bay until it stops.
9. Push the release lever on the front of the switch module to the closed
position. After you insert and lock the switch module, it is turned on, and
a POST occurs to verify that the switch module is operating correctly.
Notes:
a. The switch module takes approximately 60 seconds to complete the
POST. When the switch module is turned on, an LED test occurs. All
LEDs are lit and remain lit for approximately 5 seconds; then, all the
LEDs except the OK LED turn off. The power LED flashes to indicate
a normal POST condition; then, POST proceeds as described in the
next step.
b. To maintain proper airflow, make sure that the ventilation areas on the
sides of the switch module are not blocked.
10. Make sure that the LEDs on the switch module indicate that it is
operating correctly (see "Information LEDs" on page 20).
v When the POST starts, make sure that the green power LED on the
switch module is flashing. The POST tests the condition of firmware,
memory, data paths, and switch logic and uses the fault LED to indicate
pass or fail conditions.
