Replacing and Maintaining the Hardware
Replacing a CPU DIMM
Re-assembling the device
This section provides instructions for re-assembling the FastIron device after removing, installing, or replacing a 10-GbE module.
1.
Replace the device’s cover by gently guiding the cover into place, taking care not to bump the connectors for the 10-Gigabit
ports. To seat the cover, lift up slightly on the rear of the cover while affixing the front of the cover, then carefully seat the back of
the cover into place.
2.
Replace the power supplies or power supply and blank faceplate.
3.
Once the cover and power supplies are properly positioned, re-fasten the screws on each side of the cover.
4.
If the device is rack-mounted, replace the mounting brackets.
5.
Replace the screw that secures the power supplies in place.
Replacing a CPU DIMM
NOTE
This section applies to FESX IPv6 (FESX6) devices only.
The FESX IPv6-Ready models ship with 256 MB of SDRAM. The FESX-E models ship with 512 MB SDRAM. If needed, you can
replace the DIMM installed in the device, or you can upgrade the DIMM in an IPv6-Ready device to support 512 MB SDRAM.
To replace the DIMM, perform the following steps.
1.
Disassemble the FastIron device as instructed in the section
2.
If there is a 10-GbE module installed, remove it as instructed in the section
“Removing a 10-Gigabit Ethernet module”
3.
Remove the existing CPU DIMM located near the upper left corner of the main board by pulling up on the metal tabs on both
sides of the DIMM. The DIMM should pop out of the socket at an angle. Carefully remove the DIMM module.
4.
If you are replacing the DIMM with a 512 MB DIMM on a 24-port model and the device has a 10-GbE module, remove the
standoff or guide link (mounting post) located near the DIMM slot. This post can interfere with the larger 512 MB DIMM. Insert a
screw in place of the post. The remaining post is sufficient to properly align the 10-GbE module for re-installation.
5.
Place the new DIMM so that the pins line up correctly with the socket. Insert the new DIMM into the socket at an angle and push
downward, towards the board until the metal tabs snap into place.
6.
If applicable, re-install the 10-GbE module as instructed in the section
“Installing a 10-Gigabit Ethernet module”
7.
Re-assemble the device as instructed in the section
Replacing a fiber optic module
You can remove an SFP or XFP from a port and replace it with a new one while the FastIron Compact device is powered on and running.
This section provides information about the following tasks:
•
Removing a fiber optic module
•
Installing a new fiber optic module
•
