Remove a Switch Unit
Caution - This procedure requires that you handle components that are sensitive to electrostatic
discharge. This discharge can cause server components to fail. When you unpack the
replacement part, open the package on a grounded antistatic mat. Always use an antistatic wrist
strap for hardware replacements.
Note - The switch unit replacement kit includes plastic covers to protect switch unit connectors.
Return these covers to Oracle.
1.
Prepare the switch unit for removal.
See “Prepare a Switch Unit for Removal” on page 191.
2.
Locate the switch unit in the server.
See “Switch Unit LEDs” on page 190.
3.
Verify that the switch unit is ready to remove using one of the following
methods:
■ Verify that the blue Ready to Remove light on the switch is on.
See “Switch Unit LEDs” on page 190.
■ From Oracle ILOM, type:
# show /System/Other_Removable_Devices/Scalability_Switch_Boards/
Scalability_Switch_Board_x health
Properties:
health = Offline
4.
Remove the fan modules from the switch unit for installation in the replacement
switch unit.
See “Remove a Fan Module (Switch Chassis)” on page 184.
5.
Unseat the switch unit.
See “Unseat a Switch Unit” on page 192.
This protects the levers from damage when you pull the switch out.

connectors.
