Removing a control processor blade (CP8)
The ED-DCX-4S-B continues to operate while a CP blade is being
replaced if the redundant CP blade is active and a failover does not
occur. You can prevent failover by entering the haDisable command.
Note: Follow ESD precautions (“ESD precautions”).
Note: The CP8 blade is compatible only with the ED-DCX-B and the
ED-DCX-4S-B.
1. Remove the chassis door (“RRP: Chassis door”).
2. Log in to the active CP as the admin user. You can use a serial
cable or Telnet, Web Tools, or Fabric Manger. Determine which CP
is active using the haShow command or view the active LED on
the front of the CP.
3. If the faulty CP is the active CP, issue the haFailover command.
Wait until the failover has completed. Use the haShow command
to verify the CPs are synchronized and the failover is complete.
4. Power off the blade by sliding the slider switch in the top ejector
down to the off position (Figure 21 on page 102).
5. Disconnect all cables from the faulty (standby) CP.
