72 Removing and Replacing Components

Removing and Replacing SFMs

To remove and replace an SFM:

5. If you are installing a line card, follow these procedures:

• If you are hot-swapping (replacing the line card with the same card type), no additional configuration

is required.

• If you are installing a different line card type, enter, in Configuration mode, the following command:

linecard number card-type,

where number is a slot number from 0 to 13, and card-type is the five-character code for the card

type.

• If you are replacing the line card with a blank panel, delete the line card information from the

configuration by entering:

no linecard

6. If you are not operating your system with redundant cards (with only one line card, one RPM, and eight

SFMs) you must power off your system until the cards are replaced.

Step Task

1. Loosen the captive screw and pull the ejector lever towards you to disengage the backplane

connections.

2. Slide the card out of the slot and store in the original anti-static packaging. System messages appear on

the console, including the following:

%TSM-6-SFM_REMOVE: Removed SFM

Wait 5 to 10 seconds to install a new SFM or reinsert an SFM. *

3. Remove the new SFM from the antistatic packaging.

4. Align the new SFM with the guide and gently slide the card into the slot until you feel the connectors

engage with the chassis backplane.

Note: Hold the SFM by the edges. Avoid touching the printed circuit board and connector pins. Extend

the card lever before you insert the card into the slot.

5. Rotate the lever to seat the backplane connectors and SFM in place.

6. Secure the SFM in place using the provided screw.

7. If you are not operating your E1200i system with redundancy, replace the empty slot with a filler panel

blank. Blanks do not have board components or connector pins. Align the blank with the guides and

gently slide toward the backplane. Rotate the lever to secure the blank in place.

Note: If you mistakenly insert an SFM too quickly after removing it, traffic flow is interrupted. To

correct the situation, remove an active SFM or the standby SFM, wait several seconds, and

reinsert. System messages stating that the active interfaces’ status changed and the switch fabric is

up appear when an SFM is inserted correctly and traffic is flowing.
