replaced, you need to power-down the chassis, and then both the WWN cards must be replaced as a
matched pair.
Time and items required
Allow approximately 20 minutes to replace the WWN cards. The following items are needed to replace
the WWN cards:
• Electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap
• #2 Phillips screwdriver (required only for some versions of the WWN card)
• If a serial console session is used: serial cable and a workstation computer with a terminal emulator
application (such as HyperTerminal for Windows systems or TIP for Solaris systems)
Verifying the need for replacement
Before replacing a WWN card, verify that the replacement is necessary. Any of the following events
can indicate that the card requires replacement:
• Status LEDs on the WWN bezel not reflecting the actual status of the components.
• Power or Status LEDs on WWN card (beneath logo plate) indicate a problem.
• Problems viewing or modifying the data stored on the WWN card.
• Error messages regarding WWN units #1 or #2 from the
chassisshow
output.
Preparing for the WWN card replacement
If the WWN cards require replacement, complete the following steps. Follow electrostatic discharge
(ESD) precautions.
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megaohm resistor.
1. Open a Telnet session to the chassis and log in to the active CP as admin. The default password is
"password".
2. Verify that you are logged in to the active CP. Run the
haShow
command to determine the active
CP.
3. Run the
supportSave
command on the active CP to capture all settings. These will be used later to
verify the settings have been correctly programmed.
4. Contact Brocade Technical Support for replacement of both WWN cards. Brocade Support will
request the partner or OEM to send two WWN cards from FRU inventory to the nearest Brocade
Support office to be reprogrammed. Brocade Support will require the
Supportsave
data taken in
the previous step so that the replacement cards can be reprogrammed prior to shipping to the
partner or your site.
NOTE
Do not execute the
frureplace
command. The command will no longer be functional beginning with
the release of Fabric OS 7.0.0c, but users with earlier versions of the Fabric OS should also
not
run
the command.
