HP DC04 SAN Director Switch Hardware Reference Guide

• SFP or extended form-factor pluggable XFP (FC10-6 Director blade only) transceivers (as
needed)
• Optical cables (as needed)
CAUTION: A filler panel should be removed only when being replaced with a Director
blade, or a filler panel. Any slot that is not occupied by a Director blade should be occupied
by a filler panel to ensure correct cooling of the chassis and protection from dust.
Removing a blade
CAUTION: Wear a grounded ESD strap when handling a DC04 SAN Director blade. Use the
grounding connections above the power connectors on the chassis.
1. Remove the chassis door. See Removing the chassis door (page 65).
2. A failed port or blade can be identified by inspecting the LEDs on the front panel of each
blade. Observe the power LED, status LED, and port status LED to identify any possible
problems. See Monitoring DC04 Director system components (page 46) for LED locations.
3. Establish a Telnet or console session.
Before replacing a blade, establish a Telnet or console connection to identify a failure and
verify operation after replacement. Use the switchShow command to view the status of
blades.
4. Look for adequate cable slack. Ensure that there is plenty of cable slack to remove a blade
without cable obstruction.
5. Ensure that the part number on the unit being replaced matches the replacement part number.
Use the chassisShow command to display information about the blades, including part
numbers (xx-000xxxx-xx), serial numbers, and additional status.
6. Ensure that traffic is not flowing through the blade (port status LED is off) prior to disconnecting
cables.
NOTE: Before removing any cables from a blade, note the cable by identifying each cable
by its physical port. If multiple blades are being replaced, replace one blade at a time.
7. Ensure that traffic is not flowing through the blade.
8. Disconnect all cables and SFP or XFP transceivers from the blade.
9. FC8-16, FC8-32, FC8-48, FC8-64, FS8-18, FX8-24, FX8-24E, FCOE10-24 blades: Adjust the
ejectors to the open position. Unscrew the two thumb screws from the top and bottom ejectors
on the blade using the Phillips screwdriver. See Figure 36 (page 68).
Unscrew the top thumb screw until it pops out. This initiates a hot-swap request.
FC10-6 and FR4-18i blades: Power off the blade by sliding the slider switch in the top ejector
down, to the off position.
This initiates a hot-swap request.
10. Wait for the power LED to turn off in response to the hot-swap request before removing the
blade.
11. FC8-16, FC8-32, FC8-48, FC8-64, FS8-18, FX8-24, FX8-24E. FCOE10-24 blades: Open the
ejectors and remove the blade from chassis.
FC10-6 and FR4-18i blades: Unscrew the two thumb screws from the top and bottom ejectors
on the blade. Open both ejectors simultaneously to approximately 45 degrees and remove
the blade from the chassis.
