Installing an I/O Blade
To install an I/O blade, do the following:
1. Open the I/O blade latch and slide the I/O blade into the chassis until it
makes contact with the midplane connector.
2. Rotate the latch upward to lock the I/O blade in place. When the I/O blade is
properly installed, the Hotswap LED will extinguish. If the Hotswap LED
begins flashing, remove the I/O blade and reinstall it.
3. Confirm the I/O blade status. Open a Telnet session and enter the Show
Chassis command to display the operational status of the I/O blade.
4. Reconnect the Fiber Channel port cables according to their labels.
NOTE:
8-Gbps I/O blades require firmware version 7.8 or higher.
