Hardware Installation Guide
Installing Components into the Chassis
Follow electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when installing new components. Wear a wrist grounding strap
connected to a chassis ground (if the device is plugged in) or a bench ground.
NOTE
New WWN cards are shipped preinstalled in the replacement chassis. Do not replace the WWN cards in the
replacement chassis with the old WWN cards from chassis that you are replacing. This will result in licensing
and return materials authorization (RMA) issues for your product. The original license will be transferred to the
replacement chassis, based on the license identification (LID) of the new, preinstalled WWN card, through the
RMA process. You should be provided a license for the new chassis through email. If you have not received this,
contact your Brocade support representative.
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megaohm resistor.
1. Record the chassis serial number, SKU, and WWN printed on the chassis label. This label is located on the lower
portion of the chassis on the nonport side beneath the fan assemblies.
You may need this information to transfer licenses to the new chassis.
2. Replace the fan assemblies (
).
3. Replace the power supplies or filler panels (
).
4. Replace the control processor (CP) blades (
5. Replace the core routing (CR) blades (
).
6. Replace the port and extension blades or filler panels (
).
7. Replace the cable management comb.
8. Replace the chassis door. The door is required to meet EMI compliance. See
.
The device performs a power-on self-test (POST). The POST takes a minimum of three minutes and is complete when
LED activity returns to the standard state. The power supply LED will light green when power is applied. Note that after
one power supply is plugged into AC power, LEDs on the remaining installed power supplies will flash green until they
also have full power.
10. Verify that the device is powered on and POST is complete (all power LED indicators on the blades should be a steady
green).
11. Verify that all components are functioning correctly by checking their LEDs. If the LEDs do not indicate correct
operation, try reinstalling the corresponding component.
Synchronizing Airflow Direction on WWN Cards
An airflow direction mismatch may occur if the airflow direction, nonport-side intake (NPI) or nonport-side exhaust (NPE),
for installed fan and power supply assembly FRUs does not match the airflow direction set on the new WWN cards
shipped with replacement chassis.
You can the check airflow direction for fans in the fan and the power supply assemblies installed in the device with the
airflow direction set on the WWN cards by entering the
chassisShow
command. The airflow direction of the fans and
the power supplies displays as "Fan Direction" under each fan or power supply unit. System airflow direction displays as
"System Airflow" under the WWN card unit.
