Removal and replacement of the port, application, and
encryption blades
This section describes how to remove and replace port, application, and encryption blades.
ATTENTION
A blade should be removed only when being replaced with another port, application, or encryption blade, or a filler panel
(
Removal and replacement of the blade filler panel on page 89). Any slot that is not occupied by a blade should be occupied
by a filler panel to ensure correct cooling of the chassis and protection from dust.
Slots are numbered from 1 through 12, from left to right when facing the port side of the Brocade DCX. Port, application, and encryption
blades can be installed in slots 1 through 4 and 9 through 12.
ATTENTION
The FCOE10-24 application blade is not compatible with the FC8-64 high-density port blade and the other application blades
(FX8-24 and FS8-18) in the same chassis.
