Replacing the Host I/O Card
NOTE:
The Host I/O Card is hot-swappable.
1
Identify the faulty Host I/O card. Refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 135 for
information on identifying the card.
2
Remove the Fibre Channel data cables from the transceiver(s) that are to be
removed. Insert the dust covers on the data cable connector(s). This will protect
the optics.
3
Each transceiver model has a slightly different mechanism for ejection. Refer to
the illustration below and note the model you have.
4
Using the ejector, release the transceiver and pull it from the SFP cage.
a
The type A model uses a pivoting mechanism. Use the edge of your finger
tip or the finger nail to engage the ejector and pull towards you. This will
release the transceiver.
b
The type B model uses a similar mechanism to the type A except it rotates
about a pivot point. Use the edge of your finger tip or the finger nail to
engage the ejector and pull towards you. This will release the transceiver.
c
The type C model uses a pull tab to eject the transceiver. Grasp and pull the
tab to release the transceiver.
