Brocade DCX 8510-8 Backbone Hardware Reference Manual - Manual (Page 80)

DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megaohm resistor.
NOTE
An FA4-18i application blade and the Brocade DCX 8510-8 must have the same version of firmware.
To upgrade firmware versions, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide.
1. Orient the blade so that the ports are at the front of the chassis and the flat side of the blade is on
the left.
2. Open the ejectors by rotating them toward the center of the blade face, align the flat side of the
blade inside the top and bottom rail guides in the slot, 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. Tighten the thumbscrews using the Phillips screwdriver.
5. Verify that the power LED on the port blade is displaying a steady green light. If it does not turn on,
ensure that the blade is firmly seated.
6. Verify the Status LED on the blade. The status LED will show amber until POST completes for the
blade and then display green. If the LED remains amber, the board may not be properly seated in
the backplane or the board may be faulty.
7. Install the transceivers and cables in the blade. For mSFP (FC8-64 port blade only) and QSFP
(FC16-64 port blade only) transceivers, it is recommended that you install the cables in the
transceivers before installing the transceivers in the blade.
8. Group and route the cables through the cable management comb.
9. Replace the chassis door.
Blade filler panel removal and replacement
This section describes how to remove and replace blade filler panels.
NOTE
Some filler panels have two thumbscrews and some have only one. Be sure to unscrew or tighten both
if you are using the two-screw version.
Removing a filler panel
Complete the following steps to remove a filler panel from the chassis.
CAUTION
If you do not install a module or a power supply in a slot, you must keep the slot filler panel in
place. If you run the chassis with an uncovered slot, the system will overheat.
1. Remove the chassis door.
2. Unscrew the thumbscrews on the panel using the Phillips screwdriver.
3. Using the tabs, pull the filler panel out of the chassis.
