Rebooting the Embedded Switch Module
4
Rebooting the Embedded Switch Module
The Embedded Switch Module has a Reset button (Figure 13). The Reset button is a small,
recessed micro-switch that is accessed by inserting a pin (or an object of similar size) into the small
hole.
Depress the Reset button for up to five seconds to reboot the Embedded Switch Module.
Removing and replacing the Embedded Switch Module
Complete the following steps to remove and replace a failed Embedded Switch Module.
Before beginning this procedure, ensure that you have a replacement Embedded Switch Module or
filler panel available because you do not want to leave the slot on the Blade Server chassis open for
an extended period of time. The slot must be filled with either a replacement Embedded Switch
Module or a filler panel to maintain proper airflow.
1. Back up the Embedded Switch Module configuration to an FTP server by using the Module’s
configUpload CLI command and following the prompts.
This command uploads the Embedded Switch Module configuration to the server, making it
available for downloading to a replacement Embedded Switch Module if necessary. It is
recommended to back up the configuration on a regular basis to ensure that a complete
configuration is available for downloading to a replacement Embedded Switch Module.
2. Stop all SAN activity requiring the ports used by the Embedded Switch Module.
For details about port management, refer to your PRIMERGY BX900 S1 Basic Unit Operating
Manual. Verify that there is no activity by viewing the Embedded Switch Module LEDs. For
details about LED activity on the Embedded Switch Module, see “Interpreting LED activity” on
page 37.
3. Remove all cables from the SFP modules.
Locating the Embedded Switch Module serial number
Before contacting service support, be sure to obtain the Embedded Switch Module’s serial number.
Use one of these methods to locate the number:
• Use the CLI and enter the ChassisShow command. The Embedded Switch Module serial
number is displayed along with other data.
• Locate the serial number on the label attached to the Embedded Switch Module.
