45.6 Ethernet Switch Board Replacement Procedure
ES boards are typically pre-loaded with the required software and, therefore, can be
inserted into the chassis followed by the lock/unlock procedure in the EMS, as
described below.
45.6.1 Replacing the Ethernet Switch Board
This section describes how to replace the ethernet switch board.
Caution
Do not insert the ES-2 module while the ES/6600/RTM is inserted.
 To remove an Ethernet Switch board from the chassis:
1. In the EMS, lock the Ethernet Switch board to be replaced. For more information,
see Section 'Working with the Ethernet Switch Boards' on page 261.
2. Unfasten the screws on the plate of the board.
3. Gently pull the two black ejector/injector latches on both ends outwards (not
actually removing the board) and wait for the Hot Swap blue LED to light,
indicating that the board can be removed.
4. Pull on the two ejector/injector latches and ease out the board from the slot.
 To insert an Ethernet Switch board into the chassis:
1. Hold the board Vertical with the top of the board pointed upward.
2. With the black ejector/injector latches in the open (pulled out) position, insert the
board in the slot, aligning the board on the grooves on each side.
3. Ease the board all the way into the slot until the ejector/injector latches touch the
chassis. The blue hot-swap LED is lit.
4. Press the two black ejector/injector latches on both ends inward, toward the
middle until you hear a click.
5. Wait for the hot-swap blue LED to turn off.
6. Fasten the screws on the front plate of the board to secure the board to the
chassis and to ensure that the board has an earth connection to the chassis.
7. In the EMS, unlock the Ethernet Switch board that has been replaced. For more
information see 'Working with the Ethernet Switch Boards' on page 261.
8. In the EMS ( after 6 minutes for ES/6600 and 1 minute for ES-2 ), verify that the
Ethernet Switch board’s Operational State is Enabled.
