Maintenance Procedures 61
Note
Creating a backup copy of the switch configuration is
recommended for each switch in the FC 6164. This preserves zoning
and other switch-specific information.
a. From a workstation, establish a Telnet connection to the switch that is
being replaced, and log on as administrator.
b. Enter the following command to disable the switch:
switchDisable
c. Enter the
configupload
command to upload the configuration to the
server.
Physically Uninstalling the Switch
3. Physically disconnect the faulty switch.
Note
These switches do not have an On/Off button; they are powered
on or off by connecting or disconnecting the power cord. It is not
necessary to power off the switches that are connected to the faulty
switch.
a. Disconnect the power cable, leaving the cable in the channel below
the switch.
b. Disconnect the Ethernet cable and the serial cable. If disconnecting
more than one switch at a time, label each of the Ethernet and serial
cables (if used) with the switch number before disconnecting.
CAUTION
The fiber optic cables are fragile and should not be bent to a
radius of less than 0.5 inches.
c. Ensure that each of the fiber optic cables are still labeled with the port
and switch number.
Note
The exact cabling configuration shown in the diagram must be
implemented in order for the FC 6164 to operate correctly.
