Installing Ethernet Link Modules in BN Platforms
1-4
114946-A Rev. A
The Backbone Node hot-swap feature allows you to remove or replace a link
module with the chassis power on or off.
When you remove a link module with the power on, the services that slot provides
become disrupted. After the slot fails to receive packets, the other link modules in
the chassis resynchronize their routing tables and continue uninterrupted.
The procedure for removing a link module is the same for the BLN, BLN-2, and
BCN platforms:
1.
Disconnect any exterior cables from the link module.
2.
Attach an antistatic wrist strap.
BN platforms and link modules ship with an antistatic wrist strap. You must
wear one of these straps when accessing components on BN platforms. The
antistatic wrist strap directs the discharge of static electricity from your body
to the chassis, thereby avoiding discharge and possible damage to sensitive
electronic components.
3.
Loosen the captive screw on each end of the module.
4. Grasp the sides of the module and pull it out of the slot.
5. Place the module in an antistatic protective bag.
Danger: Do not remove more than two adjacent modules with the power on.
Caution: Electrostatic discharge can damage hardware. Always use the
antistatic wrist strap when handling any component on your BN platform.
