requires replacement.
Time and items required
The chassis replacement takes approximately 3 hours.
The following items are required for the chassis replacement:
• Electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap
• ESD grounding pads for protecting all blades and WWN cards
• Serial cable and workstation computer with a terminal emulator application (such as
HyperTerminal for Windows systems or TIP for Solaris systems), required only if serial console
session used
• Pallet jack or hydraulic or assisted lift that raises a minimum of 140 cm (55 in.) and carries a
minimum of 113 kg (250 lb)
• A surface on which to place the old chassis, such as a second lift or the pallet originally
provided with the old chassis

Verify that replacement of the chassis is necessary. Ensure that the components are firmly seated
when troubleshooting, and contact your support provider with any questions about whether the
chassis should be replaced.
Any of the following events might indicate the need to replace the chassis:
• Visible mechanical damage to the chassis, including damage to sheet metal or card guides
that prevents correct installation of a blade.
• Bent or damaged connectors on the backplane (the surface inside the chassis to which the
blades connect).
• One or more components (such as a power supply, blower assembly, port blade, control
processor blade, core switch blade, or WWN card) do not function properly even after the
component was replaced.
• Intermittent FAULTY codes for blades. Re-seat the blade and visually inspect the right-hand
ejector stiffening rail for possible wear or damage. It is important that the blade ejector
handles not slip out during blade installation. If this happens, it is usually due to excessive
wear or damage to the right-hand ejector stiffening rail.
