Replacing the WWN card and WWN bezel (logo plate)
For the following procedure, please refer to Figure 27 .
Complete the following steps to replace the bezel and WWN card.
ATTENTION
Follow ESD precautions (see “ESD Precautions” in your chassis manua).
1. Unpack the new WWN card and save the packaging for the faulty WWN card.
2. Hold the card by the edges and insert the WWN cable onto the WWN module until it is fully
seated. Use the Phillips screwdriver and the two screws to attach the WWN card to the chassis.
NOTE
If a serial console session is active, several “removal detected” and “insertion detected”
messages display on the console because of the replacement.
3. Verify that the WWN card is correctly connected by checking the LEDs on the WWN card to see
if they reflect the status of the components.
NOTE
The LEDs might take up to 2 minutes after WWN card installation to begin functioning.
4. Install the WWN bezel. Orient the bezel on the chassis. Insert and tighten the screws.
5. Pack the faulty WWN card in the packaging provided with the new card and return it to the
chassis supplier.
Transceiver removal and replacement
Use this procedure to remove and replace a transceiver.
NOTE
The 16 Gbps-capable SFP+s auto-negotiate at 4, 8, and 16 Gbps.The single-speed 10 Gbps SFP+s
can also be used in the 16 Gbps port blades. The 8 Gbps-capable mSFPs and SFP+s auto-negotiate
at 2, 4, and 8 Gbps. The mSFPs are compatible only with the FC8-64 high density port blade. The
16 Gbps SFP+s should be used only with the FC16-32 and FC16-48 port blades.
Time and items required
The replacement procedure for one transceiver takes less than five minutes.
• Replacement mSFP SFP+,
• Optical transceiver extraction tool (for SFP+ transceivers)
Most Brocade switches and backbones come with a transceiver extraction tool (Figure 1) and
holster. The extraction tool is designed to remove transceivers from switches and blades where the
space is limited.
