Replacing an existing GbE2 Interconnect Switch
CAUTION:
Removing a GbE2 Interconnect Switch from a powered enclosure
will
result in the loss of network
communications between the server blade network ports that are connected through this switch and the
segment of network infrastructure those ports need to communicate.
For continued blade server network communication and services availability, do the following before you
remove the GbE2 Interconnect Switch. Redirect critical high-availability services or applications to use the
redundant network ports available on those blade servers that are connected through the redundant GbE2
Interconnect Switch in the enclosure.
