Attention: 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. You can
determine the firmware version on the replacement blade and do a firmware
upgrade if necessary after inserting the blade in the chassis, but you MUST disable
high availability (HA) before inserting the new blade. If the new CP blade is
severely down-level, a very specific and detailed procedure must be followed to
bring the blade up to the correct firmware version. Refer to the
Fabric OS
Administrator’s Guide for information. Also see “Downloading firmware from an
FTP server” on page 94, “Downloading firmware from a USB device” on page 96,
and “Fabric OS firmware updates” on page 50.
Time and items required
The installation procedure for the CP blade takes approximately 30 minutes. The
following items are required for the CP blade installation:
v
ESD (electrostatic discharge) grounding strap
v
Workstation computer
v
Serial cable
v
IP address of an FTP server for backing up the SAN768B-2 configuration

Attention: If you are upgrading through multiple versions of the Fabric OS, refer
to Table 14 on page 94, to see which intermediate versions of the Fabric OS you
will need. Plan carefully and provide for extra time if this is your situation.
Verifying the need for replacement

that a CP blade is faulty:

lit.
v The CP blade does not respond to Telnet commands, or the serial console is not
available.

normally.
