2. Power off the chassis by flipping all AC power switches to the off position. (The power supply status LED should turn
off.)
3. Remove the power cords from the power supplies and the power outlets.
4. Remove the chassis door.
5. Label the cables connected to all blades and record the connections.
6. Disconnect the cables from the SFP+ transceivers in the application and port blades and set them aside. If you have
mSFP transceivers in FC8-64 port blades, or QSFP transceivers in FC16-64 port blades, remove the transceivers and
cables together and set them aside. The SFP+ transceivers can be left in the port blades or removed.
7. Disconnect all cables from the control processor and core switch blades.
8. Disconnect any ICL or QSFP cables.
Removing components from the chassis
Follow electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when removing components. Wear a wrist grounding strap connected to
chassis ground (if the device is plugged in) or a bench ground.
NOTE
Do not remove WWN cards from the chassis as new WWN cards are shipped preinistalled in the replacement
chassis. Do not replace the WWN cards in the replacement chassis with the old WWN cards as this will result
in licensing and return materials authorization (RMA) issues for your product. The original license will be
transferred to the replacement chassis, based on the license identification (LID) of the new, preinstalled WWN
card, through the RMA process. You should be provided a license for the new chassis through email. If you have
not received this, contact your Brocade support representative.
