Replacing a control processor blade (CP8)
This section describes how to remove and replace a control processor (CP8) blade. Each DC SAN
Director has two CP8 blades, which are located in slot 6 and slot 7.
NOTE: If the new CP blade does not have the same firmware as the active CP blade, you must
upgrade the new blade to the active CP blade firmware version.
The replacement procedure for the CP blade takes approximately 30 minutes. The following items
are required for the CP blade replacement:
• ESD grounding strap
• Workstation computer
• Serial cable
• IP address of an FTP server for backing up the DC SAN Director configuration
• #2 Phillips screwdriver
