Chapter 2. Installing and replacing a high speed switch module

FIGURE 5
High speed switch module removal
1. Read the safety information that begins on
page ix
, and
“Installation guidelines”
on page 9.
2. Disconnect any cables from the switch module that you are removing. Removing these cables
(especially an Ethernet cable) disrupts the network connection from the external Ethernet port
to any connected external Ethernet devices. If you plan to replace the switch module with
another switch module, you can use the existing Ethernet cable, provided that it remains
securely attached to the Ethernet network. For additional information about cabling the switch
module, see
“Chapter 4. Cabling the switch module and the SFP+ module”
on
page 19
, the
documentation that comes with the cables, and the optional network devices to which the
cables have been connected. For the locations of the connectors on the BladeCenter unit, see
the documentation that comes with the BladeCenter unit. Then, continue with
step 3
.
3. Pull the release latches out from the switch module. The switch module moves out of the bay
approximately 0.6 cm (0.25 inch).
4. Slide the switch module out of the bay and set it aside.
5. Place either another switch module or a filler module in the bay.
Important: Complete this step within 1 minute. (For more information, see steps 8 and 9 on
page 11
.)
6. If you placed a switch module in the bay, reconnect the other cables that you disconnected.
Attach any additional cables that are required by the switch module. For additional information
about cabling the switch module, see
“Chapter 4. Cabling the switch module and the SFP+
module”
on
page 19
, the documentation that comes with the cables, and the optional network
devices to which the cables have been connected. For the locations of the connectors on the
BladeCenter unit, see the documentation that comes with the BladeCenter unit. Then,
continue with
“Chapter 3. Installing and removing an SFP+ module”
on
page 15
