DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megaohm resistor.
1. Ensure that the chassis is still powered off. If not, power down the entire chassis.
2. Unpack the two new WWN cards and save the packaging for the faulty WWN cards.
The WWN cards and cables are labeled #1 for the left slot and #2 for the right slot.
3. Hold each card by the edges and slide the card into the chassis. Use the Phillips screwdriver and the
screws to secure the WWN card to the chassis.
4. Power on the chassis and wait for five minutes for the chassis to boot.
5. Verify that the WWN card is correctly connected by checking the LEDs on the WWN card to see if
they reflect the status of the components.
NOTE
The LEDs may take up to two minutes after WWN card installation to begin functioning.
6. Install the WWN bezel. Orient the bezel on the chassis. Insert and tighten the screws.
7. Verify the new card settings by running the following commands and comparing the output with the
original supportsave data:
1. licenseidshow
2. ipaddrshow
3. switchname
4. chassisname
5. wwncardshow ipdata
6. chassisshow (look at the WWN and Chassis information at the bottom)
7. ficonshow switchrnid
8. Run the switchcfgpersistentenable command to persistently enable each logical switch, that were
disabled before removing the WWN cards:
switch:FID128:root> switchcfgpersistentenable
Switch's persistent state set to 'enabled'
9. Pack the faulty WWN cards in the packaging provided with the new cards, and return them to
Brocade Support for failure analysis (FA).
