12. Power on the new switch.
Fibre Channel Transceiver Replacement
To replace a Fibre Channel transceiver
1.
Power off the system. See Powering Off the System .
2. Disconnect the Fibre Channel cable by squeezing the end of the cable connector.
If removing more than one cable, make sure that they are labeled before removing them. The
cables are fragile; use care when handling them.
CAUTION: Mishandling Fibre Channel cables can degrade performance. Do not twist, fold,
pinch, or step on cables. Do not bend the cables tighter than a 2-inch radius.
3. Some models of transceivers are held in place by a small wire bail actuator; pull down on
the top of the bail and rotate it in the downward direction.
4. Grasp the transceiver between your thumb and index finger, and carefully remove it from the
Fibre Channel port.
5. Insert a new transceiver in the Fibre Channel port and gently push in the transceiver until it
clicks in place.
NOTE: A transceiver fits only one way in the port. If the transceiver does not install under
gentle pressure, pull it out of the port, turn it over, and re-insert it.
6. Plug the Fibre Channel cable into the duplex jack at the end of the transceiver.
7. Power on the system. See Powering on the VLS System .
Ethernet Switch Replacement
To replace an Ethernet Switch:
1.
Power off the switch.
2. Make a note of all cable connections to the switch then disconnect the cables.
3. From the front of the switch, loosen the captive thumbscrews until the thumbscrews are free of
the rack.
4. Remove the switch from the rack.
5. Install the new switch into the rack. See “Installing the 100 Mb Ethernet Switch 2510-24 into
a Rack” (page 36) or “Installing the Ethernet Switch 6600–24G into a Rack” (page 32) .
6. Reconnect all cables to the new switch exactly as they were connected to the failed switch.
7. Power on the new switch.
VLS9200 Disk Array Component Replacement
This section describes the processes for replacing the hard drive, power module, and RAID or
expansion controller components of the VLS disk array enclosures.
Hard Drive
CAUTION: Before removing a hard drive from the disk array, ensure that a replacement hard
drive is immediately available. Removing a hard drive causes a significant change in the airflow
within the disk array, and the disk array could overheat if a replacement hard drive is not installed
within a relatively short time.
Be careful when replacing a drive. The drives in the disk array are fragile.
1. Press the drive latch release button.
