Blade and Filler Panel Replacement Procedure 23

53-1001809-01

ATTENTION

Follow ESD precautions (“ESD precautions”).

1. Ensure that all packing material and safety appliances have been removed from the blade.

2. 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.

3. For blades with ejectors only, adjust the ejectors to the open position, align the flat side of the blade inside the

upper and lower rail guides in the slot, and slide the blade into the slot until it is firmly seated (Figure 14).

For blades with ejectors and slider switches, open the ejectors to approximately 45 degrees, align the flat side of

the blade inside the upper and lower rail guides in the slot, and slide the blade into the slot, with slight pressure

to the left, until it is firmly seated (Figure 16).

4. For blades with ejectors only, adjust the ejectors to the closed position by pulling them away from the center of

the blade.

For blades with ejectors and slider switches, close the ejectors by pushing the handles toward the center of the

blade until the ejectors lock. The levering action of the handles seats the blade in the slot.

5. For blades with ejectors, tighten the upper and lower thumb screws using the Phillips screwdriver.

For blades with ejectors and sliders switches, tighten the thumb screw inside each handle using the Phillips

screwdriver.

6. For blades with ejectors and slider switches, turn the blade on by sliding the slider switch in the top ejector up,

covering the thumb screw.

7. Verify that the power LED on the blade is displaying a steady green light. If it does not turn on, ensure that the

blade is firmly seated.

8. Install the SFP or XFP (FC10-6 only) transceivers and cables in the blade.

9. Group and route the cables.

Removal and replacement of a filler panel

This section describes how to remove and replace the blade filler panel.

ATTENTION

The instructions below refer to the top and bottom of a filler panel in the vertical orientation as used in the

PowerConnect B-DCX and the PowerConnect B-48000. For the PowerConnect B-DCX-4S, because the panels are

horizontally oriented, top should be read as left and bottom should be read as right.

ATTENTION

A filler panel should be removed only when being replaced with a blade or a new filler panel. Any slot that is not

occupied by a blade should be occupied by a filler panel to ensure correct cooling of the chassis and protection from

dust.

Removing a filler panel

1. Unscrew the thumb screw at the bottom of the panel using the Phillips screwdriver.

2. Pull the filler panel out of the chassis (Figure 17).
