NOTE
The CR16-4 blade is compatible only with the Brocade DCX 8510-4.
NOTE
The device continues to operate while a core switch blade is being replaced.
Complete the following steps to remove the core switch blade.
1. Remove the chassis door.
2. Unscrew the two thumbscrews from the ejectors on the blade using the Phillips screwdriver. Unscrew the left
thumbscrew until it pops out. This initiates a hot-swap request.
3. Label and then disconnect cables from the faulty core switch blade.
4. Open the ejectors by rotating them toward the center of the blade face. Pull the blade out of the chassis using the
ejectors.
