NOTE
The Brocade DCX 8510-8 must be removed from the fabric and powered off to perform this
procedure. Contact your support provider if you have any questions about whether the chassis
requires replacement.
Time and items required
The chassis replacement takes approximately 3 hours.
The following items are required for the chassis replacement:
• Electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap
• ESD grounding pads for protecting all blades and WWN cards
• Serial cable and workstation computer with a terminal emulator application (such as HyperTerminal
for Windows systems or TIP for Solaris systems), required only if serial console session used
• Pallet jack or hydraulic or assisted lift that raises a minimum of 140 cm (55 in.) and carries a
minimum of 113 kg (250 lb)
• A surface on which to place the old chassis, such as a second lift or the pallet originally provided
with the old chassis
• #2 Phillips screwdriver

Verify that replacement of the chassis is necessary. Ensure that the components are firmly seated
when troubleshooting, and contact your support provider with any questions about whether the chassis
should be replaced.
Any of the following events might indicate the need to replace the chassis:
• Visible mechanical damage to the chassis, including damage to sheet metal or card guides that
prevents correct installation of a blade.
• Bent or damaged connectors on the backplane (the surface inside the chassis to which the blades
connect).
• One or more components (such as a power supply, blower assembly, port blade, control processor
blade, core switch blade, or WWN card) do not function properly even after the component was
replaced.
• Intermittent FAULTY codes for blades. Reseat the blade and visually inspect the top ejector
stiffening rail for possible wear or damage. It is important that the blade ejector handles not slip out
during blade installation. If this happens, it is usually due to excessive wear or damage to the top
ejector stiffening rail.
• The
psShow
or
fanShow
commands continue to show a faulty component even though the
component was replaced.
• The
slotShow
command continues to show a faulty control processor, core switch, or port blade
even though the blade was replaced.
