Replacing an Ethernet Module
NOTE: S5000 does not support the hot swapping of an Ethernet pluggable module during switch operations. Instead,
you must power down the switch before removing and replacing an expansion module.
1. Disconnect any network interface cables attached to the module.
2. Use the grab handle to slide the Ethernet module out of the switch module slot.
3. Use the grab handle on the replacement Ethernet module to slide it into the switch module slot.
4. Connect any network interface cables to the attached module.
Important Points to Remember for Installing a Unied Port Module
• You must insert the Unied Port module only in slot 0. If you use an FC module on an S5000 switch, the device cannot be
stacked.
• If you want to use the FC module in passthrough Ethernet mode, use the stack-unit unit-number port-group
number portmode ethernet command in Conguration mode.
• Installing and swapping of Unied Port modules must be done BEFORE power up. If you need to install or replace a module,
power down the system before you install or replace it. If you install or replace a module when the system is powered up, the
system does not recognize the module. Online insertion of modules can result in a catastrophic failure.
• The S5000 does not support the hot swapping of a Unied Port pluggable module during switch operations. Instead, you must
power down the switch before removing and replacing a Unied Port module.
• Although the handle and port numbering may appear dierently on a Unied Port module, there is no functional dierence. A
module may have:
– A larger handle that covers the entire front of the module and has the part number written on top of the handle. Port
numbering is written on the front of the handle.
– A smaller handle that is half the size and does not cover the release button. The part number is written on the front of the
handle. Port numbering is written on the lower part of the front of the module.
WARNING: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur if components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-
preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the S5000 and its components.
