4 Removing InfiniBand Cables and Switches
This chapter describes the procedure to remove a damaged InfiniBand cable or InfiniBand switch
for repair.
4.1 Removing a Damaged Cable From the c-Class Cable Management
Bracket
To remove a damaged cable, follow these steps:
1.
Bring the HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure to an appropriate state for service as described
in the HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure Maintenance and Service Guide on the HP website:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00714237/c00714237.pdf
2.
To release the InfiniBand cable from the releasable cable tie, use your finger or a small
flat-headed screw driver to push down on the small tab inside the cable tie lock (see callout
1 in
Figure 4-1
).

Note:
The release tab is very small and might be difficult to reach with your finger. Use a small
flat-headed screw driver to push the tab down to release the cable tie. Also, because there
are several cables, removal of an InfiniBand cable in the middle portion of the switch might
be difficult without the use of needle nose pliers and a small flat-headed screw driver. Be
very careful not to damage other InfiniBand cables while using pliers or a screw driver.
3.
Remove the InfiniBand cable from the switch. To remove the InfiniBand cable, pull the
release tab on the QSFP connector while using your other hand to remove the connector
from the switch. For more information on how to remove an InfiniBand cable from the
switch, see the HP BLc 4X DDR InfiniBand Gen 2 Switch Installation Guide.
4.2 InfiniBand Switch Removal
Put the rack cabinet into a safe and stable state for component removal. You must ensure that
you can reach the component easily and handle it safely.
To remove the InfiniBand switch, follow these steps:
1.
Bring the HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure to an appropriate state for service as described
in the HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure Maintenance and Service Guide on the HP web site:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00714237/c00714237.pdf
2.
