Stopping blade 8 Shutting down the blade.... Broadcast message from root (pts/1) Tue Jul 18 14:23:06 2008... The system is going down for system halt NOW !! DANGER Turn off the power switches and disconnect the power cords (D006) 2. Power off the chassis by flipping all AC power switches to “0”. (Power supply Status LED should turn off.) 3. Remove the power cords from the power supplies and the power outlets. 4. Label the cables connected to all blades and record the connections in Table 2. 5.
Installing the replacement chassis CAUTION Use safe lifting practices when moving the product. (C015) NOTE A fully populated PowerConnect B-DCX-4S (four FC8-48 port cards, 192 ports) weighs approximately 68 kg (150 lbs) and requires a hydraulic or assisted lift to install it. NOTE If the PowerConnect B-DCX-4S is installed in a cabinet, ensure that the cabinet is balanced and secured mechanically and that the removal and installation procedure will not compromise cabinet stability. 1.
6. Replace the port blades or filler panels (see the DCX-4S Port, Application, and Encryption Blade Replacement Procedure and see the DCX-4S Blade Filler Panel Replacement Procedure). 7. Replace the cable management fingers (see the DCX-4S Vertical Cable Management Fingers Replacement Procedure). 8. Connect the power cords to the power supplies and the power outlets. 9. Replace the chassis door (DCX-4S Chassis Door Replacement Procedure). 10.

NOTE The PowerConnect B-DCX-4S can be accessed by remote connection using any of the available management tools, such as Telnet or Web Tools. Ensure that the PowerConnect B-DCX-4S is not modified using other connections during the rest of this procedure. 2. Reconnect the transceivers and cables to the port blades: NOTE The ports and cables used in trunking groups must meet specific requirements. For a list of these requirements, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide. a.
switch:admin> 2. Determine any differences between the information in the “SANafter.txt” file and the information in the “SANbefor.txt” file created earlier. In particular, look for differences in the following: • • • • Device types Number of devices ISL and port states Number of switches in the fabric 3. Resolve any issues or unintentional changes to the PowerConnect B-DCX-4S or fabric. • If there are any mechanical problems, try reseating the associated component.
