If you have one or more application blades in the chassis, the Fabric OS
automatically detects mismatches between the active CP firmware and the
application blade's firmware and triggers the auto-leveling process. This
auto-leveling process automatically updates the application blade firmware to
match the active CP. At the end of the auto-leveling process, the active CP and
the application blades will run the same version of the firmware.
4. Pack the faulty CP blade in the packaging provided with the new CP blade for
return to IBM, following local procedures.
5.
Install the chassis door (See “Removing and installing the chassis door” on
