Inserting a switch fabric module
Complete the following steps to insert the switch fabric module (SFM) similar to the procedure and illustration for Removing a switch
fabric module on page 115 .
1. Unpack the new SFM and remove it from the anti-static bag.
2. Inspect the SFM for damage.
3. Remove the protective caps from the backplane connectors.
• Undo the captive ejector screws using a #2 Phillips screwdriver.
4. Open the ejectors on the new SFM by unscrewing the captive screws in each ejector and then pulling them outward. Orient the
SFM so that the ejectors are toward you.
5. Remove the fan module from the chassis.
NOTE
The fan module needs to be re-installed within 2 minutes of removal if the ambient temperature exceeds 35 deg C
(95 deg F).
6. Align the SFM with the guides in the slot.
7. Push the SFM rmly into the slot.
NOTE
Push rmly at both the top and bottom of the SFM with the ejectors
open.
8. Close the ejectors by rotating them inward.
9. Tighten the captive screws using the #2 Phillips screwdriver.
NOTE
While operating or turning the thumbscrew on SFMs during installation and removal of the blade, insure that the
ejector is held in the closed position. This insures ease of operation of the thumbscrew and insures that the screw is
either fully seated while installing or is fully disengaged while removing the blade. In order to insure the ejector is held
in the closed position, the user may need to hold the ejector down by hand during operation or turning the
thumbscrew.
NOTE
The SFM will not function unless the captive screws are tightened.
10. Check that the Power LED (green) for the SFM lights after a short time.
NOTE
You cannot check this LED after you replace the fan because they are hidden behind the fans.
You can check the Power LED for the SFM with the duplicate LED set on the management module or on the fans themselves.
Once the fan is replaced, the fan has a yellow and green LED that indicates the status of all the SFMs that are behind it. On the
management module, there is a green/yellow LED pair for each SFM.
11. Replace the fan module by following the steps in the Inserting a fan module on page 111.
