Removing a fabric card from a Passport 20000
Remove a fabric card from the rear of a Passport 20000 switch to replace it
because of a failure or an upgrade.
Prerequisites
•
You must be familiar with “Safety considerations and best practices”
(page 53).
•
Have two protection covers for the fabric connectors present. You should
find them in the original packaging of the fabric. If the fabric was shipped
in the transportation position, use the protection covers from the
replacement fabric.
Procedure steps
1
Unfasten the Phillips captive screw on the fabric lever.
As the screw is unfastened, the fabric reset button is released, which
slightly pushes out the lever, and the fabric LED turns solid red unless it
is not already solid red.
2
Put one hand into the fabric handle and the other hand on the fabric lever.
3
Start removing the fabric by gently pulling the lever towards you. Pulling
the lever opens the casing and unseats the fabric. The uneven tension on
the lever is normal.
4
Stop at full extension of the lever. Keep holding the fabric in position. Its
weight may surprise you.
5
Gently slide the hinge pins together out of the 2 upper and 2 lower middle
hinge grooves until the fabric is completely disengaged.
6
Pack the fabric in anti-ESD protection packaging. A shipped-in-place
fabric has no packaging, so use whatever can protect the fabric.
