McDATA® Sphereon 3032 and 3232 Fabric Switches Installation and Service Manual
FRU Removal and Replacement
Procedural Notes
Note the following:
1. Read the removal and replacement procedures (RRPs) for that
FRU before removing the FRU.
2. Follow all WARNING and CAUTION statements and statements
in the preface of this manual.
3. After completing a FRU replacement, clear the event code
reporting the failure and the event code reporting the recovery
from the Sphereon 3032/3232 Event Log (at the Enterprise Fabric
Connectivity (EFC) Server). Extinguish the amber system error
(ERR) light-emitting diode (LED) at the switch front panel.
RRP: SFP Transceiver
Use the following procedures to remove and replace an SFP
transceiver from a port. No tools are required.
Removal
To remove an SFP:
1. Identify the defective port from the illuminated amber LED at the
switch or failure information at the EFC Server’s Hardware View.
2. Notify the customer the port will be blocked. Ensure the
customer’s system administrator quiesces Fibre Channel frame
traffic through the port and sets the attached device offline.
3. Block communication to the defective port (Block a Port on
page 4-45).
4. Disconnect the fiber-optic jumper cable from the SFP:
a. Pull the keyed subscriber connector (LC) free from the SFP.
b. Place a protective cap over the cable connector.
5. If the SFP was not manufactured by IBM Corporation, go to step
6. Remove an IBM-manufactured SFP from the chassis:
a. Flip the wire bale at the bottom of the SFP upward 90 degrees.
b. Use the wire bale as a handle to pull the SFP out of the chassis.
6. Remove a non-IBM SFP from the chassis:
a. Simultaneously squeeze the metal latches on the sides of the
SFP to disengage the SFP from the port receptacle.
