•
Wear an appropriately grounded ESD wrist strap when handling and installing blades and cards. Follow electrostatic discharge
(ESD) precautions. Wear a wrist grounding strap connected to chassis ground (if the chassis is plugged in) or a bench ground.
•
Install core routing blades only in slots 5-6. These blades cannot be installed in other slots as guide pins and connectors in each
slot allow only specific blade types.
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megaohm resistor.
CAUTION
If you do not install a module or a power supply in a slot, you must keep the slot filler panel in place. If you run the chassis
with an uncovered slot, the system will overheat.
CAUTION
Static electricity can damage the chassis and other electronic devices. To avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in
their static-protective packages until you are ready to install them.
CAUTION
Before plugging a cable into any port, be sure to discharge the voltage stored on the cable by touching the electrical
contacts to ground surface.
CAUTION
To avoid damaging blade and chassis, do not push the blade into a slot or pull the blade from a slot using the ejector
handles.
Faulty core routing blade indicators
Confirm that you need to replace the blade before continuing. The following events may indicate that a core routing blade is faulty:
•
The status LED on the core switch blade is lit steady amber, or the power LED is not illuminated.
•
The
slotShow
command does not show that the core switch blade is enabled.
•
Any of the following messages display in the
errShow
output or
errShowAll
command output for root-capable administrators:
–
"Slot unknown" message relating to a core switch slot
–
Core switch blade errors or I2C timeouts
–
FRU: FRU_FAULTY messages for a core switch blade
–

–
Configuration loader messages or "Sys PCI config" messages
–
Generic system driver messages ("FABSYS")
–
Platform system driver messages ("Platform")
–
EM messages that indicate a problem with a core switch blade
–
Function fail messages for the core switch master
