connectors. Open the CPU blade latch and slide the blade into the chassis
until it makes contact with the midplane connector. Rotate the latch to lock
the CPU blade in place. When the CPU blade is properly installed, the
Hotswap LED will be extinguished.

factory CPU blade replacement is 10.0.0.1.

the Heartbeat LED is showing a different blink pattern, contact your
authorized maintenance provider.

(10.0.0.1), and enter the Show Blade CPU command to display the
diagnostic status for the CPU blade.
12. Compare firmware versions. Open a Telnet session and enter the
Show Version command to determine the firmware version.

proceed to Step 16 to restore the switch configuration.
