Removing a switch fabric module
You can remove a switch fabric module from the chassis while it is powered on and running.
Before removing a switch fabric module from the chassis, have the following on hand:
• An ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to the ESD connector on the chassis.
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 meg ohm resistor.
• A #2 Phillips-head or flathead screwdriver.
To remove a switch fabric module from the chassis, perform the following tasks.
1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by inserting the plug into the ESD connector
located in the lower right corner of the chassis front.
2. Use a #2 Phillips-head or flathead screwdriver to loosen and remove the two screws on the
ends of the module.
3. Pull the card ejectors towards you and away from the module front panel. This action unseats
the module from the backplane.
4. Pull the module out of the chassis, and place in an anti-static bag for storage if desired.
5. Install a new module in the slot as instructed in the following section.

Before installing a switch fabric module into the chassis, have the following on hand:
• A new switch fabric module, which you can order from Brocade.
• An ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to the ESD connector on the chassis front.
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 meg ohm resistor.
• A #2 Phillips-head or flathead screwdriver.
To install a new switch fabric module in the chassis, perform the following tasks.
1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by inserting the plug into the ESD connector
located in the lower right corner of the chassis front.
2. Remove the new switch fabric module from its packaging.
3. Insert the module into the chassis slot as shown in Figure 43 and Figure 44, and slide the card
along the card guide until the ejectors on either side of the module move close to the module
front panel.
4. Push the ejectors toward the center of the module. This action will fully seat the module in the
backplane.
