Removing the CX310

Scenarios

Remove the CX310 from the E9000 chassis. Before the operation, be familiar with the hardware devices.

To replace a switch module, see section "Replacing a Switch Module" in the E9000 Server V100R001 User Guide.

Impact on the System

After the switch module is removed, all services running on the switch module stop.

Prerequisites

Tools

• Protective gloves
• Electrostatic discharge (ESD) gloves
• Phillips screwdriver (PH2 is 6 mm or 0.24 in.)

Workflow

Figure 3-9 Removal process

Procedure

1. Determine the CX310 to be removed. Figure 3-10 shows the slot numbers.
   Figure 3-10 Slot numbers
   

2. Determine the connection relationships between signal cables and ports on the CX310. Figure 3-11 shows the CX310 port types and numbers.
   Figure 3-11 Port types and numbers
   

   1	BMC serial port	2	SYS serial port
   3	10GE optical port	-	-

3. (Optional) Remove a serial cable.
   Figure 3-12 Removing a serial cable
   

   The BMC serial port and SYS serial port are standard RJ45 ports and are disconnected in the same way.

4. Remove an optical cable and optical module.
   1. Determine the optical module type and the optical port to be removed depending on site requirements.
   2. Remove the optical cable from the optical module. See (1) and (2) in Figure 3-13.
   3. Install the dust-proof cap for the optical cable. See (3) in Figure 3-13.
      Figure 3-13 Removing an optical cable
      
   4. Remove the optical module horizontally from the optical port, as shown in Figure 3-14.
      Figure 3-14 Removing an optical module
      

      If 10GE optical modules and cables have been removed and 40GE optical modules and cables do not need to be removed, go to 5.

5. Remove the CX310.
   1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the two M3 captive screws. See (1) in Figure 3-15.
      Figure 3-15 Removing the switch module
      
   2. Raise the two ejector levers on the CX310 completely and pull the switch module horizontally out of the chassis. See (2) and (3) in Figure 3-15.
   3. Lower the ejector levers on the CX310. See (4) in Figure 3-15.

      An ESD bag holds only one switch module.

   4. Place the removed switch module into an ESD bag.

6. Install a switch module filler panel.
   1. Raise the two ejector levers on the switch module filler panel and push the filler panel horizontally into the chassis as far as it will go. See (1) in Figure 3-16.
      Figure 3-16 Installing a switch module filler panel
      
   2. Lower the two ejector levers on the switch module filler panel. See (2) in Figure 3-16.
   3. Use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten the two M3 captive screws on the switch module filler panel. See (3) in Figure 3-16.
