Replacing the G8124-E
Preparing and Returning the G8124-E
If replacing the G8124-E, remove all associated components and options according
to the instructions in this chapter. Remove and retain clips, cords, cables, modules,
caps or blanks, air-duct option (if installed), and any mounting hardware. These
items can then be reinstalled on the replacement unit.
When you remove the G8124-E from the rack, record the product Machine
Type-Model (MTM) number and serial number to use for the replacement switch.
See “Recording Important Product Information” on page 28 to locate the product
information labels on the switch or through the switch firmware interface.
To return the chassis to customer service for replacement, see Appendix A, “Getting
Help and Technical Assistance ” on page 65 to help you gather all the required
information that is necessary to return a component. After you remove the G8124-E
unit, securely pack it for shipping.
Install the replacement G8124-E hardware as directed in Chapter 3, “Installing
G8124-E Hardware and Options ” on page 27 ). Once the hardware is installed,
configure the Vital Product Data (VPD) on the replacement switch as shown in the
following section.
Configuring Vital Product Data
After you install the replacement G8124-E hardware (the new unit), you must
configure the new unit to use the VPD of the unit which was removed (the old unit),
in order to avoid losing any licensed electronic entitlement data. The required
information consists of the old unit’s MTM and serial number, which was collected
from the old unit according to “Recording Important Product Information” on
page 28 .
To configure the VPD on a new switch, complete the following steps.
1. Log in to the new G8124-E as directed in
Chapter 5, “Initializing the G8124-E ”
