Replacing an I/O Module
The subsystem contains four (4) hot-swappable I/O modules. Each module
consists of SFP sockets mounted on a circuit board that connects to the
backplane. If any of these I/O modules fails and your server has an alternate
link to the array, you can replace it online.
To replace an I/O module, please follow these steps:
NOTE:
The following instructions show only one of the I/O modules. You may
follow the same procedures to handle other I/O modules.
CAUTION!
The edges of FC ports without SFP transceiver can be sharp. Wear a
protective glove before working on these I/O modules.
Step 1. Disconnect the SFP transceiver(s) and optical cables
that
are connected to the I/O modules. Press the latches on the
transceiver. The transceivers will be loosened from the SFP
socket by the mechanism. You may then pull out the
transceiver module along with its fiber cable. (See
Figure 5-
11
)
NOTE:
The procedure for disconnecting the SFP transceiver is based on the IFT-
9270CSFP4GA01
. If you are using a different SFP transceiver, please refer
to its related documentation.

Step 2. Remove the I/O module from the chassis.
Each host
connection module is secured to the chassis by a retention
screw that is closer to the center of the chassis as
