4.6 Removing a Blade
Caution: Blades must be removed with care. Use ESD procedure at all times.
NOTE: Blades for the SDM-9600 chassis are hot-swappable, so the chassis does
not need to be powered down to remove a blade.
To remove a blade:
1. (Optional) Disconnect any cables that may be connected to the ports at the front of
the blade that you wish to remove.
2. Open both card handles slightly by pushing the lever in and opening the handle
toward you.
The blue H/S LED will blink, indicating that the blade is NOT READY to be
removed.
Caution:
Do not remove the blade until the H/S LED has turned off.
3. When the
H/S
LED has turned off, unscrew the two knurled M3 retention screws that
hold the blade into place on both sides.
These screws can be loosened, but not removed.
4. Pull the two card handles outward from the chassis, toward you.
The blade disengages from the pins at the rear.
