Introduction
NOTE
Read the safety notices before servicing.
The field-replaceable units (FRUs) in the Brocade DCX can be removed and replaced without special tools. The Brocade DCX can
continue operating during many of the FRU replacements if the conditions specified in the procedures are followed.
The following sections contain FRU removal and replacement procedures (RRPs).
Removal and replacement of the chassis door
NOTE
The chassis door must be installed to ensure the Brocade DCX meets EMI and other regulatory certifications. Additionally, if
ICL cables are not used, EMI plugs must be inserted in the ICL cable ports to meet certification standards.
Time and items required
The replacement procedure for the chassis door takes less than 5 minutes.
Removing a chassis door
Support the door to prevent it from falling. Pull and remove the door.
