3. Unpack the new chassis:
a) Cut the bands that encircle the packaging.
b) Remove the lid and the kits and foam from the top of the chassis.
c)
Lift the cardboard box off the chassis and remove the plastic bag from around the chassis.Save the packing materials for
use when returning the old chassis.
d) Leave the chassis on top of the plastic shipping tray if the chassis must be transported to the installation location.
NOTE
The Brocade DCX packaging does not incorporate a wood pallet and pallet brackets. The chassis sits on top of a
plastic shipping tray.
4. Use a pallet jack or other assisted lift to transport the new chassis to the installation area. Doorways must be wider than 91 cm
(36 in.) to accommodate the chassis on the pallet.
5. Use a lift to raise the chassis to the correct level. If installing the chassis in a cabinet, follow the instructions provided by the rack
kit manufacturer.
Installing components into the new chassis
NOTE
Follow electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when installing new components. Wear a wrist grounding strap connected to
chassis ground (if the device is plugged in) or a bench ground.
1. Record the chassis serial number, SKU, and WWN printed on the chassis label. This label is located on the lower right corner of
the chassis on the port side.
You may need this information to transfer licenses to the new chassis.
2. Replace the blower assemblies ( Removal and replacement of the blower assembly on page 103).
3. Replace the power supplies or filler panels ( Removal and replacement of the power supply on page 100).
4. Replace the control processor blades (CP8) ( Removal and replacement of the control processor blade (CP8) on page 91).
5. Replace the core switch blades (CR8) ( Removal and replacement of the core switch blade (CR8) on page 97).
6. If ICL cables are not used, insert EMI plugs in the ICL sockets in the core switch blades (CR8).
7. Replace the port blades or filler panels (
Removal and replacement of the port, application, and encryption blades on page 86

The Brocade DCX performs a power-on self-test (POST). The POST takes a minimum of three minutes and is complete when
LED activity returns to standard state.
12. Verify that the Brocade DCX is powered on and POST is complete (all power LED indicators on the blades should be a steady
green).
13. Verify that all components are functioning correctly by checking their LEDs. If the LEDs do not indicate correct operation, try
reinstalling the corresponding component.
