Procedures
Follow the links in the steps below to complete this installation:
1. Remove the chassis door. See “Removing and installing the chassis door” on
page 81.
2.
Verify that the blade is the correct part, PN 98Y1754.
3. Identify slot 1 of the SAN768B-2 chassis. This blade can be installed only in
slot 1.
4. IBM recommends having the latest firmware version on the CP blade. If the
firmware is not at the latest level, obtain new code from the code download
website, and install it prior to installing the port blade. See “Fabric OS
firmware updates” on page 50 for instructions. Also refer to “Removing and
installing a CP8 control processor blade” on page 88 for details on firmware
updates.
Note: Firmware downloads require that Ethernet connections be made to both
CP blades. Procedures for loading firmware are described in the Fabric OS
Administrator's Guide .
5. Remove the filler panel or port blade. Refer to “Removing a port or
application blade” on page 84 or “Removing a filler panel” on page 87.
Attention: A filler panel should be removed only when being replaced with
a port blade or new filler panel. Any slot that is not occupied by a port blade
should be occupied by a filler panel to ensure correct cooling of the chassis
and protection from dust.
6. Follow the instructions for “Installing a port or application blade” on page 86.
7.
Follow the instructions for “Removing and installing transceivers” on page
108.
8. Install, group, and route the cables. See “Managing cables” on page 46 for
additional cabling instructions.
Attention: Do not route cables in front of the exhaust vent, which is located
at the top on the port side of the chassis.
9. Verify the installation (see the appropriate section of Chapter 4, “Monitoring
system components,” on page 53). For information about how to check the
status of hardware components using the CLI, see the
Fabric OS
Administrator's Guide , which is located on the product documentation CD.
10. Reinstall the chassis door. See “Removing and installing the chassis door” on
page 81.
