• FC: NCS4009-FC2F-S
• AFT: NCS4009-FAN-FC
• Air filter: NCS4009-FTF-2
Procedure
Step 1
Attach the ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect its leash to the ESD jack located on the front
side of the chassis. You can also connect the ESD-preventive wrist strap leash to any bare metal surface on
the chassis.
Step 2
Remove the air filter.
Step 3
Remove the NCS4009-FC2-S fabric card.
Step 4
Install the NCS4009-FC2F-S fabric card and the AFT. Check the status of the newly installed fabric card
before proceeding to upgrade the next fabric card.
The removal of the fabric cards should be done one by one. Wait for the newly installed fabric card
to completely come up before removing and inserting the next fabric card. Run the
show platform
command and check if the fabric card is displayed as OPERATIONAL.
Attention
Step 5
Replace the air filter.
Troubleshooting the RP, FC, or LC Card
Use the Status LED, located on the faceplate of the RP, FC, or LC card, to verify the correct installation of
the card:
• When the card is properly installed and no faults are detected, the card status LED turns green.
• When the card status LED is solid yellow, either software initialization is in progress during bootup or
a fault exists on the board.
• When the card status LED is blinking yellow, the card is not fully seated.
• When the card status LED is off, verify that the card is installed correctly. There could be no power
applied to the card, a power fault, or a hardware fault.
• Verify that there is power to the chassis by looking at the output LED on the power modules.
To confirm the location of the card that needs attention, the Attention LED can be lit by using the hw-module
attention-led location CLI command.
Note
If the installed or replaced card fails to operate or to power on after installation:
• Ensure that the card is seated firmly in the chassis slot. One easy way to verify physical installation is
to see whether the front faceplate of the card is even with the fronts of the other cards installed in the
card cage.
• Ensure that the ejector levers are latched and that the captive screws are fastened properly. If you are
uncertain, unlatch the levers, loosen the screws fully, and attempt to reseat the card.
