Blade-Specific Precautions
This document describes how to remove and replace a core routing blade.
Observe the following precautions when replacing these blades:
•
The CR32-4 core routing blade is compatible only with the Brocade X6-4 Director.
•
Wear an appropriately grounded ESD wrist strap when handling and installing blades and cards. Follow electrostatic
discharge (ESD) precautions. Wear a wrist grounding strap connected to a chassis ground (if the chassis is plugged in)
or a bench ground.
•
Install core routing blades only in slots 5–6. These blades cannot be installed in other slots because guide pins and
connectors in each slot allow only specific blade types.
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megaohm resistor.
CAUTION
If you do not install a module or a power supply in a slot, you must keep the slot filler panel in place. If you run
the chassis with an uncovered slot, the system will overheat.
