required for proper chassis cooling. The door is required to meet EMI compliance.
Installing a Blade
NOTE
Read all of the instructions for replacing the CP blade before beginning the procedure. Make sure that the same
version of Fabric OS is installed on both CP blades. Using different versions is not supported and may cause
malfunctioning. If the replacement CP blade has a different version of Fabric OS, bring both blades to the same
firmware version. Once you have installed the replacement CP blade, determine the version of firmware on the
replacement CP blade and upgrade it if necessary.
Complete the following steps to install a CP blade.
1. If a protective sleeve is covering the blade connectors, remove the sleeve.
2. Follow these steps to insert the blade into the slot.
a) Carefully push the blade into the slot using your thumbs or fingers on the blade faceplate.
CAUTION
To avoid damaging blade and chassis, do not push the blade into a slot or pull the blade from a slot using
the ejector handles.
When the blade face is about 2.54 cm (1 in.) from the chassis, you should feel resistance as the blade connectors
meet the backplane connectors.
