3. Unpack the new chassis:

a. Cut the bands that encircle the packaging.

b. Remove the lid, kits, and foam from the top of the chassis.

c. Lift the cardboard box off the chassis and remove the plastic bag from around the chassis.

Save the packing materials for use when returning the old chassis.

d. Leave the chassis on top of the plastic shipping tray if the chassis must be transported to

the installation location.

4. Use a pallet jack or other assisted lift to transport the new chassis to the installation area.

Doorways must be wider than 91 cm (36 in) to accommodate the chassis on the pallet.

5. Use a lift to raise the chassis to the correct level. If installing the chassis in a cabinet, follow

the instructions provided by the rack kit manufacturer.

Installing components into the new chassis

This section provides instructions for installing FRUs in the chassis.

CAUTION: Wear a grounded ESD strap when handling DC SAN Director components and port

blades. The chassis provides a grounding connection above the power connectors. Also, store

ESD-sensitive components in antistatic packaging.

1. Install the WWN bezel (logo plate) and WWN cards (see Installing the WWN bezel (logo

plate) and WWN card (page 80)).

2. Install the blower assemblies (see Installing a blower assembly (page 76)).

3. Install the power supplies or filler panels (see Installing a power supply (page 75)).

4. Install the control processor blades (CP8) (see Installing a control processor blade

(CP8) (page 71)).

5. Install the core switch blades (CR8) (see Installing a core switch blade (CR8) (page 74)).

6. Install the port blades or filler panels (see Installing a Director blade (page 65)).

7. Replace the cable management comb (see Installing a cable management comb (page 63)).

8. Connect the power cords to the power supplies and the power outlets.

9. Power-on the DC SAN Director.

10. The DC SAN Director performs a POST. The POST takes a minimum of three minutes and is

complete when LED activity returns to standard state.

11. Verify that the DC SAN Director is powered on and POST is complete (all power LED indicators

on the port, control processor, and core switch blades are solid green).

12. Verify that all components are functioning correctly by observing their LEDs. If the LEDs do not

indicate correct operation, reinstall the corresponding component.

Downloading the configuration

After the chassis and its various components are reassembled and powered back on, use the

configDownload command to restore the original configuration. Enter the configDownload

command through a Telnet or serial session. The DC SAN Director must have an Ethernet connection

to the server or host for the download process to complete. For more information, issue the help

configDownload command or see the Fabric OS Command Reference Manual.
