NOTE
The Brocade DCX 8510-8continues to operate while a core switch blade is being replaced.
Complete the following steps to replace the core switch blade.
1. Open the ejectors by rotating them toward the center of the blade face. Orient the CR blade so that
the handles are toward you.
2. Align the flat side of the blade inside the top and bottom rail guides in the slot with the components
facing right, and slide the blade into the slot until it is firmly seated.
3. Close the ejectors by rotating them away from the center of the blade. The levering action of the
ejectors seats the blade in the slot.
4. Power on the blade by screwing in the thumbscrews.
5. Verify that the power LED is green (might require a few seconds). If not, ensure that the core switch
blade has power and is firmly seated and that the ejectors are in the locked position.
The status LED on the new blade is initially amber and will be until POST for the blade completes.
this may take as long as several minutes. It then turns green.
6. Connect the cables to the new core switch blade. For the DCX 8510 models, if the QSFP cables are
not used, make sure the rubber gaskets are in the QSFP transceivers.
7. Replace the chassis door.
8. Pack the faulty core switch blade in the packaging provided with the new core switch blade, and
contact the Brocade DCX 8510-8 supplier to determine the return procedure.
