Removing or Replacing the Switch
Note:
The following illustration shows how to remove and replace the switch from
the Lenovo Flex System chassis. The appearance of your Lenovo Flex
System chassis might be different; see the documentation for your Lenovo
Flex System chassis for additional information.
To replace the switch, complete the following steps.
1. Read the safety information that begins on
page 5
, and
“Installation Guidelines”
on page 16
.
2. Detach any cables that are attached to the switch you will be removing.
Note:
Detaching cables from the switch ports disrupts the network connection
from the switch to any connected external devices. If you plan to replace
the switch with another switch, you can reuse the existing cables, provided
they remains securely attached to the network.
3. Pull the release latches out from the switch. The switch moves out of the bay
approximately 0.6 cm (0.25 inch).
4. Slide the switch out of the bay and set it aside in a safe, static-free location.
5. Place either another switch or a filler module in the bay.
Important:
Complete this step within 1 minute. For more information, see
“Installing the EN4093R” on page 18
.
6. If you placed the switch in the bay, reconnect the ports that you disconnected in
Step 2
and attach any additional cables that are required by the switch.
For additional information about connecting ports, see
“Connecting Switch
Ports” on page 21
, and also the documentation that comes with the port
transceiver modules, DACs, cables, and the optional network devices to which
the cables have been connected.
