Removing a Blade
Use the following procedure to power down the device and remove the CP blades. You can replace a single CP blade or
both blades one at a time.
1. Be sure to perform all steps under
.
2. Power down the device.
3. Remove the chassis door.
4. Disconnect all cables from the CP blades.
5. Loosen the captive screws for both ejector handles on the blade using a No. 1 Phillips screwdriver.
Loosening the screws initiates a hot-swap request and disconnects power from the blade. The spring-loaded captive
screws will pop out from the slot .63 cm (.25 in.) when fully disengaged. Do not eject the blade using blade handles
until screws disengage from the slot and the power LED is off.
6. Grasp both ejector handles and simultaneously pull them away from the center of the blade using equal pressure to
approximately 45 degrees (fully open).
As you move the handles, you will hear connectors disengaging from the backplane connector and possibly a slight
popping noise. This is normal and is due to the dense backplane. The blade will move out approximately 1.27 cm (.5
in.) from the slot when fully disengaged.
7. Pull the blade out from the slot slightly using the ejector handles until you can grasp the blade edges with your hands.
Make sure that the blade has cooled sufficiently to touch.
CAUTION
To avoid damaging blade and chassis, do not push the blade into a slot or pull the blade from a slot using the
ejector handles.
8. Continue pulling the blade from the slot by the blade edges. As you slide out the blade, place one hand under it for
support. Do not support the blade by the injector handles after removal.

9. If the blade is not being replaced by another blade, install a filler panel and reinstall the chassis door.
The filler panel is required for proper chassis cooling. The door is required to meet EMI compliance.
