Removing or replacing the switch
1. Before removing a switch from the chassis, read the following safety information:
•
“Safety” on page vii
•
“System reliability guidelines” on page 11
2. Disconnect any cables from the switch that you are removing. For additional information about
disconnecting cables, see “Installing and removing an SFP+ transceiver” on page 16, and the
documentation that comes with the cables and optional network devices to which the cables
have been connected. For the locations of the connectors on the chassis, see the
documentation that comes with the chassis.

moves out of the bay approximately 0.6 cm (0.25 inch).
4. Slide the switch out of the bay and set it aside.
5. Replace the removed switch with either another switch or a filler panel. You must complete this
step within 60 seconds.
6. If you installed another switch in the bay, reconnect the cables that you disconnected in step 2 .
Attach any additional cables that are required by the switch. For additional information about
connecting cables, see
“Installing and removing an SFP+ transceiver” on page 16, and the
documentation that comes with the cables and optional network devices to which the cables
have been connected. For the locations of the connectors on the chassis, see the
documentation that comes with the chassis.
