About a Failed Management Interface Module

If you believe a Management Interface module has failed, contact technical support. Management
Interface modules are hot-swappable.
Refer to

“Management Interface Module LEDs” on page 71

and

“Monitor the Cards” on page 79

for

monitoring information.

Determining Which Management Interface Module has Failed

The Management Interface modules are located on the back of the chassis. Refer to

Figure 1-2

for a

diagram of the chassis. The slots are labelled on the chassis.

Removing a Management Interface Module

1. Verify that you have a method of covering the slot before removing the module. Do not remove the

module unless you have a replacement or a blanking panel for the slot, as overheating may occur.

2. Determine if the Management Interface module that you are removing is currently connected to the

master fabric controller.
Note: The removal of the “Master” Management Interface module will trigger a fail-over of the
Fabric Controller module. Switch traffic will be disrupted. If the system is left without a
Management Interface card, the switch will become inoperative.
If the “Master” LED is lit, then the module is connected to the master fabric controller module, and
a fail-over will occur when you remove the management interface module. The system will fail to
the redundant management interface module and the redundant fabric controller module.

3. Ground yourself appropriately.
4. Unplug any Ethernet management or serial cables that are connected to the ports of the

Management Interface module.

5. Use a #1 phillips screwdriver to unscrew the Management Interface module.
6. Use the handle to pull the module from the bay.
