Removing a filler panel
CAUTION: A filler panel should be removed only when being replaced with a port or application
blade, or another filler panel. Any slot that is not occupied by a blade must be occupied by a filler
panel to ensure correct cooling of the chassis and protection from dust.
To remove a filler panel:
1. Remove the chassis door. See Removing the chassis door (page 65).
2. Use the Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the thumb screw at the bottom of the panel.
3. Remove the filler panel from the chassis (see Figure 37 (page 69)).
Installing a filler panel
To install a filler panel:
1. Orient the filler panel (see Figure 37 (page 69)).
2. Slide the filler panel into the slot until it is firmly seated.
3. Tighten the thumb screw at the bottom of the panel.
4. Replace the chassis door (see Installing the chassis door (page 65)).

Replacing a control processor blade (CP8)
This section describes how to remove and replace a control processor (CP8) blade. Each DC04
SAN Director has two CP8 blades, which are located in slot 4 and slot 5.
NOTE: If the new CP blade does not have the same firmware as the active CP blade, you must
upgrade the new blade to the active CP blade firmware version.
The replacement procedure for the CP blade takes approximately 30 minutes. The following items
are required for the CP blade replacement:
• ESD grounding strap
• Workstation computer
• Serial cable
• IP address of an FTP server for backing up the DC04 SAN Director configuration
• #2 Phillips screwdriver
• Replacement DC04 SAN Director CP blade (CP8)
