Installing A CMC Module

CAUTION:

Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and

simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and

support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow

the safety instructions that are shipped with your product.

1. Remove the I/O connector cover.

2. Open the CMC module handle.

3. Slide the module into the enclosure until the handle contacts the enclosure.

4. To fully seat the module, close the handle until the release latch snaps into place.

5. Reconnect the cables that were attached to the module.

CMC Module SD Card

The SD card slot on the CMC module supports an optional WWN/MAC feature that allows slot-based WWN/MACs for the blades,

simplifying blade installation and replacement.

NOTE:

For a redundant CMC module system, install the SD card on the passive module. The blue status indicator on the

passive module is off.

1. Remove the CMC module from the M1000e enclosure.

NOTE:

Verify the write protection latch is in the "unlock" position.

2. Locate the SD card slot on the bottom of the CMC module and insert the contact-pin end of the card into the slot with the label on

the card facing upwards.

3. Reinstall the CMC module and reattach any cables that were disconnected.

On a single CMC system, the SD card activates automatically. For redundant CMC module systems, initiate a changeover to make the

passive module active using the following steps:

a. Navigate to the Chassis page.

b. Click the Power Management tab.

c. Click the Control sub tab.

d. Select the Reset CMC (warm boot) button.
