Chapter 2 Hardware Maintenance : Replacing Blades in FEC CHS-FC1040-01-C or CHS-FC0140-01-B

Replacing Blades in FEC CHS-FC1040-01-C or CHS-FC0140-01-B
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.
This section contains the following topics:
Safety Precautions
Before replacing a P-7500 NAB, review the following safety warning.
Tool and Equipment Requirements
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:
Step 1: Removing the FEC from the System Chassis
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:
tibco# power-down
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.
4.
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).
Figure 20 Removing Screws from Bottom of Metal Brace
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).

You have completed this procedure.
Step 2: Removing System Blades from the FEC
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.

4.
You have completed this procedure.
Step 3: Installing Replacement Blades into the FEC
Upon 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.
2.

3.
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.
You have completed this procedure.
Step 4: Installing the FEC Back into the System Chassis
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.
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).
