Important Points to Remember for Installing a Fibre Channel
Module
•
You must insert the Fibre Channel module only in slot 0.
•
Installing and swapping of Fibre Channel modules must be done BEFORE power up. If you need to install or
replace a module, power down the system before you install or replace it. If you install or replace a module
when the system is powered up, the system does not recognize the module. Online insertion of modules can
result in a catastrophic failure.
•
The S5000 does not support the hot swapping of a Fibre Channel pluggable module during switch operations.
Instead, you must power down the switch before removing and replacing a Fibre Channel module.
•
Although the handle and port numbering may appear differently on a Fibre Channel module, there is no
functional difference. A module may have:
–
A larger handle that covers the entire front of the module and has the part number written on top of the
handle. Port numbering is written on the front of the handle.
–
A smaller handle that is half the size and does not cover the release button. The part number is written
on the front of the handle. Port numbering is written on the lower part of the front of the module.
