Removal and Replacement Procedures (RRPs)

5. Identify the defective port card from the amber LED on the card

or failure information at the management server Hardware View.

6. Block communication to the defective port card (Blocking and

Unblocking Ports on page 4-27).

7. If necessary, remove the RFI shield.

8. Disconnect the fiber-optic jumper cable from each port on the

defective card as follows. Repeat this step for all four ports.

a. Pull the keyed LC connector free from the port optical

transceiver.

NOTE: If name server zoning is implemented by port number, a

change to the director fiber-optic cable configuration disrupts zone

operation and may incorrectly include or exclude a device from a

zone.

b. Place a protective cap over the cable connector. If required,

label jumper cables to ensure correct connections when the

port card is replaced.

ATTENTION! When fiber-optic cables are disconnected from port card

optical transceivers, ensure protective plugs are inserted into the receptacles.

This preventsdamageto sensitivecomponentsand preventsinjuryto the eye

if the laser is viewed directly.

c. Insert a protective plug into the opticaltransceiver.

NOTE: The spring-loaded (lock) Allen screws are colored yellow and are

mounted near yellow "lock" symbols on the frame.

9. The port card is secured to the director chassis with two captive

Allen screws. One screw (yellow) is spring-loaded and locks the

port card in place. The other screw (uncolored) cams the port

card into and out of the backplane.

ATTENTION! The torque tool supplied with the director is designed to

tighten director logic cards and is set to release at a torque value of six

inch-pounds. Do not use an Allen wrench or torque tool designed for use

with another McDATA product. Use of the wrong tool may overtighten and

damage logic cards.
