3-6 StorageWorks Fibre Channel Storage Switch Service Guide
CAUTION: Filler panels ensure EMI integrity. When upgrading a Switch, the filler
panel is removed and an interface card is installed. If a card is removed, the
filler panel must be re-installed. For a filler panel replacement, contact Compaq
Support.
Installing an Interface Card
1. Install the interface card as follows:
2. Remove the blank panel and screw from the Switch.
3. Engage the interface card in the card slots at the front and rear of the
card.
4. Keeping the card parallel to the chassis, carefully press the interface
card down, until the connector is engaged. Carefully continue pressing
down, until the connector is fully engaged.
5. Reinstall the mounting screw from the front panel to the interface card.
6. To ensure a tight fit, while pushing forward on the rear bracket, tighten
the screws and retaining nut on the rear card bracket. Be sure the card
slots engage each interface card properly.
7. Re-install the side screw on the rear card bracket.
8. Install GBIC modules through the front panel.
9. Replace the Switch cover and power cord.
10. Reconnect cabling and power up the Switch.
Replacing a GBIC Module
The dual channel interface card accepts two GBIC modules. These modules
are installed and removed by sliding the interface cards in from the front of the
unit, as shown in Figure 3-3. In the figure, the GBIC Module is called out as
1, and the Card Extractor is 2.
NOTE: The GBIC module is installed after the interface card has been installed in the
chassis. You cannot install an interface card if it has a GBIC module installed.
