Blade-Specific Precautions
This document describes how to remove and replace a control processor (CP) blade. Each device has two CP blades
located in slots 1 and 2.
Observe the following precautions when replacing these blades:
•
The CPX6 blade is compatible only with the Brocade X6 Director.
•
The CPX blade is compatible with the following Brocade X6 Directors:
–
Brocade X6-4 Director with switch type 165.5
–
Brocade X6-8 Director with switch type 166.5
•
The CPX blade cannot coexist with the CPX6 blade in the Brocade X6 Director chassis.
•
Wear an appropriately grounded ESD wrist strap when handling and installing blades and cards. Follow electrostatic
discharge (ESD) precautions. Wear a wrist grounding strap connected to chassis ground (if the chassis is plugged in)
or a bench ground.
•
Install CP blades in slots 1 and 2, which are half the width of other slots in the device.
•
The firmware upgrade policy for CP blades specifies testing for the current Fabric OS release and one version earlier.
It is possible to upgrade by more than one version, but it is a very specific and detailed process. Read the directions
Downloading Firmware from a USB Device
Downloading Firmware from an FTP Server
carefully.
•
If the new CP blade does not have the same firmware as the active CP blade, the new blade must be upgraded to the
same firmware version. After installing the new blade, you can determine the firmware version on the replacement
blade and use the
firmwaresync
command to allow the active CP blade to copy current firmware to the replaced
standby CP blade, if necessary. However, you must disable high availability (HA) before inserting the new blade.
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megaohm resistor.
CAUTION
If you do not install a module or a power supply in a slot, you must keep the slot filler panel in place. If you run
the chassis with an uncovered slot, the system will overheat.
CAUTION
Static electricity can damage the chassis and other electronic devices. To avoid damage, keep static-sensitive
devices in their static-protective packages until you are ready to install them.
