This section describes how to replace system blades in deployed P-7500 systems equipped with FEC CHS-FC1040-01-C or CHS-FC0140-01-B.The following tools and equipment are required to replace system blades in deployed P-7500 systems equipped with FEC CHS-FC1040-01-C or CHS-FC0140-01-B:Perform these steps to remove the populated FEC CHS-FC1040-01-C or CHS-FC0140-01-B from the P-7500 system chassis:
1. Enter the power-down Privileged EXEC command to turn off power to the P-7500 system:
2. Loosen by hand the two captive thumbscrews in the upper left and lower right corner of the FEC located within the Fabric Housing 1 or 2 opening at the rear of the P-7500 system chassis (refer to Figure 19).Figure 19 Loosening the FEC from the Chassis
3. Gently pull outward on the FEC until its male power connector disengages with the female chassis connector at the rear and slide the FEC straight out from the Fabric Housing 1 or 2 opening.
5. Looking from the rear of the FEC, loosen and remove the two screws from the bottom of the metal brace using a No. 1 Phillips screwdriver (refer to Figure 20).
6. Carefully remove the metal brace from the FEC by gently pulling it forward slightly from the top while lifting it up so that it clears the chassis and blades (refer to Figure 21).Perform these steps to remove the system blades to be replaced from FEC CHS-FC1040-01-C or CHS-FC0140-01-B:
1. To determine the correct location of the blade to be replaced, refer to Table 4 for the valid blade slot assignments supported for FEC CHS-FC1040-01-C or FEC CHS-FC0140-01-B, as applicable.
2. Using a No. 1 Phillips screwdriver, loosen and remove the screw holding down the blade to be replaced in the FEC (refer to Figure 22).
3. Pull up firmly on the blade to be replaced, until it is fully removed from the backplane connector (refer to Figure 23).Figure 23 Removing Blade from the FECUpon completing the removal of the blade to be replaced from FEC CHS-FC1040-01-C or CHS-FC0140-01-B, install the replacement blade as follows:
1. Carefully align the connector edge of the blade with the desired FEC backplane connector.
2. Push down firmly on the system blade until it is fully seated in the backplane connector (refer to Figure 24).Figure 24 Seating Blade in the FEC
3. Facing the front of the FEC, install the two provided SFP modules into the SFP module ports on the ADB faceplate.Refer to “Inserting and Removing SFP+ Modules” in Chapter 3 of TIBCO Messaging Appliance P-7500 Hardware Installation.
4. (NAB-0210EM Only) Facing the front of the FEC, install the two provided SFP+ modules into the SFP+ module ports on the NAB faceplate.Refer to “Inserting and Removing SFP+ Modules” in Chapter 3 of TIBCO Messaging Appliance P-7500 Hardware Installation.
5. When you have installed the replacement system blades, carefully slide the metal brace back into place in the FEC so that the grooves on the bottom of the brace engage with the FEC base until the brace is flush with the rear of the FEC (refer to Figure 25).
6. Using a No. 1 Phillips screwdriver, secure the bottom of the metal brace to the FEC using the two screws removed in Step 1 (refer to Figure 20).Perform the following steps to install the populated FEC CHS-FC1040-01-C or CHS-FC0140-01-B into the P-7500 system chassis:
1. Position and align the FEC within the Fabric Housing 1 opening found at the rear of the chassis (refer to Figure 26).Figure 26 Placing FEC in the Fabric Housing
2. Gently slide the FEC inward and press firmly until its male power connector engages with the female chassis connector at the rear of the Fabric Housing 1 opening.
3. Hand tighten the two captive thumbscrews in the upper left and lower right corner of the FEC to seat it firmly against the chassis (refer to Figure 27).Figure 27 Securing the FEC in the Chassis
4. Press the 1/0 button on the front panel of the P-7500 system, located on the right-hand side below the LEDs, to turn power back on to the system.
5. Monitor the LEDs on the front of the P-7500 system to verify that it is powering up properly.
6. Verify that the Green LED located in the upper right-hand corner of each power supply is on.
7. The CLI login prompt displays on your management console screen:
