Removal and replacement of a blade
This section describes how to remove and replace port, application, or encryption blades.
ATTENTION
A filler panel should be removed only when being replaced with a port, application, or encryption 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.
Blade and Filler Panel Replacement Procedure
53-1001809-01
17
For the PowerConnect B-DCX-4S, slots are numbered from 1 through 8, from bottom to top when facing the port side.
Port, application, and encryption blades can be installed in slots 1-2 and 7-8.
For the PowerConnect B-DCX and PowerConnect B-48000, slots are numbered from left to right when facing the port
side of the chassis. Port blades can be installed in slots 1 through 4 and 9 through 12 in the PowerConnect B-DCX
and in slots 1 through 4 and 7 through 10 in the PowerConnect B-48000.
Time and items required
The replacement procedure for each blade or filler panel takes less than 10 minutes. The following items are
required for the blade and filler panel replacement procedure:
•
•
•
•
•
ESD (electrostatic discharge) grounding strap
Workstation computer
Replacement blade or filler panel
Phillips screwdriver
Small form-factor pluggable (SFP) or extended form-factor pluggable (XFP, FC10-6 port blade only) transceivers

Figure 16 illustrates how to remove or replace a sample blade with ejectors and slider switches.
Removing a blade
ATTENTION
The instructions below refer to the top and bottom of each blade in the vertical orientation as used in the
PowerConnect B-DCX and the PowerConnect B-48000. For the PowerConnect B-DCX-4S, because the blades are
horizontally oriented, top should be read as left and bottom should be read as right.
ATTENTION
Follow ESD precautions (“ESD precautions”).
1. Check the blade and port LEDs to identify possible problems with the blade (Figure 1 through Figure 13). A
failed blade can be identified by inspecting the LEDs on the front panel of each blade. The WWN bezel on the
nonport side of the PowerConnect B-DCX and the PowerConnect B-48000 also displays a power and status LED
for each blade. For the PowerConnect B-DCX-4S the power and status LEDs are on the front panel of each blade.
2. Establish a Telnet or console session to determine a failure and verify operation after replacement. Use the
switchShow command to view the status of blades. Refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide for information
about how to check the status of hardware components using the command line interface (CLI).
3. Check for adequate cable slack. Ensure there is plenty of cable slack to remove a blade without optical, power,
or Ethernet cable obstruction.
4. Ensure that you have the correct spare part (blade or filler panel).
Ensure that the part number on the unit being replaced matches the replacement part number. The
chassisShow command displays information about the blades, including part numbers (xx-xxxxxxx-xx), serial
numbers, and additional status.
5. Ensure that traffic is not flowing through the blade (port speed and port status LEDs should be off).
6. Note cable order. Identify each cable by its physical port.
7.
Disconnect all cables and SFP or XFP transceivers from the blade.
8. For blades with ejectors only, unscrew the two thumb screws from the top and bottom ejectors on the blade
using the Phillips screwdriver. Unscrew the top thumb screw until it pops out. This initiates a hot-swap request.
Adjust the ejectors to the open position (Figure 14).
9. For blades with ejectors and slider switches, turn the blade off by sliding the slider switch in the top ejector
down, to the off position (Figure 16). This initiates a hot-swap request.
10. Wait for the power LED to turn off in response to the hot-swap request before removing the blade.
11. For blades with ejectors only, open the ejectors. Pull the blade out of the chassis using the ejectors.
For blades with ejectors and slider switches, unscrew the two thumb screws from the top and bottom ejectors on
the blade using the Phillips screwdriver. Lever both ejectors open simultaneously to approximately 45 degrees
and pull the blade out of the chassis.
12. If the blade is not being replaced by another blade, install a filler panel (refer to “Removal and replacement of a
filler panel” for instructions).

Blade and Filler Panel Replacement Procedure
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.

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).
