This section describes the removal and replacement procedures for the following
field replaceable units (FRU):
■
SFP transceivers
■
The Router
6.1
SFP Transceiver Removal and Replacement
The SFP transceivers can be removed and replaced while the router is operating
without damaging the router or the transceiver. However, transmission on the
affected port will be interrupted until the transceiver is installed.
To remove a transceiver, gently press the transceiver into the port to release the
tension, then pull the release tab or lever and remove the transceiver. Different
transceiver manufactures have different release mechanisms. Consult the
documentation for your transceiver. To install, insert the transceiver into the port
and gently press until it snaps in place.
NOTE: The SFP transceiver will fit only one way. If the SFP does not install under
gentle pressure, flip it over and try again.
6.2
Router Removal and Replacement
The router removal and replacement procedure requires that the router be powered
down and
the power cable disconnected , which means that all of the Fibre Channel
and iSCSI connections will be lost.
6.2.1
Removal
To remove and replace a router, perform the following steps, as applicable:
1. All traffic (I/O operations to the router) should be quiescent at the iSCSI initiator
systems.
2. Save the configuration data of the router using the CLI FRU command (see
appendix A.10) .
3. Power down the router.
4. Disconnect the power cable.
