Upgrade a Fabric Interconnect F1-4 to a QDR Fabric Board
5.
Grasp the DDR Fabric Board handles, and keeping the level, pivot them toward
you until they are pointing straight at you (2). You should feel the Fabric Board's
hinges disconnect it from the Fabric Interconnect's midplane.
6.
Grasping both of the release levers, slide the DDR Fabric Board halfway out of
the chassis. When the Fabric Board is halfway out, place your hand under the
sheet metal bottom to support it, then slide it out of the chassis the rest of the
way. Figure 88, “Removing the DDR Fabric Board from a Fabric Interconnect
F1-4,” on page 136 shows removing the Fabric Board.

7.
Set the DDR Fabric Board on an ESD-safe work surface or in a ESD bag.
8. Remove the QDR Fabric Board from the packaging, and orient the module so
that it is right side up.
9. Orient the QDR Fabric Board so that the sheet metal surface is on the bottom,
pivot the QDR Fabric Board's handles so that they are pointing directly towards
you—not flush with the module.
At the far end of each of the Fabric Board's handles, notice there is a notch. This notch will
meet a part in the chassis, and allow you to lock the Fabric Board into the system midplane and
power channel.
