2. Power off the chassis by removing the power cords from the power supplies and the power outlets.
3. Remove the chassis door.
4. Label the cables connected to all blades and record the connections. For each connection, identify the director slot
and port, the device connected, and the slot or port on the connected device.
5. Disconnect the cables from the transceivers in the extension, port, and core routing blades and set them aside. For
transceivers with integrated cables, remove the transceivers and cables together and set them aside. Transceivers
without integrated cables can be left in the blades or removed.
6. Disconnect all cables from the CP blades.
Removing Components from the Chassis
Follow electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when removing components. Wear a wrist grounding strap connected to
a chassis ground (if the device is plugged in) or a bench ground.
NOTE
Do not remove WWN cards from the chassis as 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 as 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.
When removing components, wear a wrist grounding strap connected to a bench ground.
