Preparing for replacement
Before replacing a switch module, make the following preparations.
•
Take the following ESD prevention measures:
Wear ESD clothing.
Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it is grounded reliably.
Remove any conductive objects (such as jewelry and watches).
•
Backup the switch module configuration.
•
Examine the slot and connector for damages. Make sure the pins are not damaged (bent for
example) and do not contain any foreign objects.
•
Be clear about the switch module installation guidelines.
Install a maximum of switch modules for the server.
The installation positions of switch modules and mezzanine network adapters must allow
their internal connections.
The six switch modules form three pairs with internal ports inter-connected: Slots 1 and 4
pair, slots 2 and 5 pair, and slots 3 and 6 pair. Each pair can be used as a switching plane,
and the switch modules in each pair operate in active/standby mode.
The switch module can be hot swapped.
