Brocade DCX 8510-4 Backbone Hardware Installation Guide
NOTE
New WWN cards are shipped preinstalled in the replacement chassis. Do not replace the WWN cards in the
replacement chassis with the old WWN cards from chassis that you are replacing. 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.
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megaohm resistor.

green).
14. Verify that all components are functioning correctly by checking their LEDs. If the LEDs do not indicate correct
operation, try reinstalling the corresponding component.
Downloading the configuration
Once the chassis and its various components have been reassembled and powered back on, use the configDownload
command to restore the original configuration. The configDownload command can be entered through a Telnet or serial
session, but the device must have an Ethernet connection to the server name or IP address of the host for the download
process to complete. For more information, refer to the help configdownload command or the Brocade Fabric OS
Command Reference.
