Installing a control processor blade (CP8)
Attention: Read ALL of the instructions for replacing the CP blade before
beginning the procedure. Use the same version of Fabric OS on both CP blades.
Using different versions is not supported and may cause malfunctioning. If the
replacement CP blade has a different version of Fabric OS, bring both blades to the
same firmware version. Once you have installed the replacement CP blade, see
“Verifying operation of the new CP blade” on page 93 for information about
determining the version of firmware on the replacement CP blade and upgrading it
if necessary.
Attention: Follow ESD precautions (see “ESD precautions” on page xix) when
handling any blades.
Complete the following steps to install a CP blade (slot 6 or 7):
1.
Open the ejector handles to approximately 45 degrees. Orient the CP blade so
that the handles are toward you and the flat metal side is on your left.
2. Align the flat metal side of the CP blade inside the upper and lower blade
guides in the slot. Slide the CP blade into the slot until it is firmly seated.
