Procedure for 9U Interconnect
To remove a 9U sys tem interconnect from the rack, use the following procedure:
1. Bring the cluster to an appropriate state for switch component rem oval and
put the rack into a safe and stable state for component removal.
2. At the rack’s power distribution unit (PDU), power off the circuit that supplies
power to the interconnect.
3. Prepare a suitable work surface and clear a pathway for removal of the
interconnect. Ensure that there are no cables or other obstructions underfoot.
4. At the front of the rack, a blanking plate covers the rear of the interconnect.
Remove the six torque screws holding the blanking plate (Figure 5-9), then
disconnect the interconnect’s power supply cable.
