9. If the blade is not being replaced by another blade, install a filler panel and reinstall the chassis door. The filler panel is
required for proper chassis cooling. The door is required to meet EMI compliance.
Installing a Blade
Use the following steps to install both CP blades when the device power is off (cold-swap procedure).
1. Tighten the captive screws for each ejector using a No. 1 Phillips screwdriver.
NOTE
Be sure that the captive screws are tightened. If they are not tightened, high pressure from fan operation
may unseat the blade from chassis connectors.
2. Power up the device.
3. Connect the cables to the new CP blades.

12. Verify that each blade's power LED is green. If they are not green, ensure that the CP blade has power and is firmly
seated and that the ejectors are in the locked position.
Completing the Replacement
Complete the following steps to complete the CP blade replacement procedure.
1. Enter haEnable to re-enable HA on the active CP blade.
NOTE
The haEnable command will cause the standby CP blade to reboot. Wait until POST completes—when the
status LED on the CP blade returns to a steady green state—before moving to the next step.
2. Enter haShow and verify that the command output includes "HA Enabled, Heartbeat Up". If the output does not include
this phrase, re-enter the command until you have verified that redundancy is achieved.
