Occasionally you will want to perform maintenance or upgrades on the ACI-2058 or its
blades. When this occurs, you may need to do one or more of the following:
• Blades : Remove a blade from the chassis, repair or install the desired option, then re-
install the blade. For details, see page 20.
• Transceiver Modules : Remove or re-locate transceivers, disconnect and reconnect the
cable. For details, see page 21.
• Power Supplies : Remove a power supply from the chassis, repair or install the desired
option, then re-install the power supply. For details, see page 22.
5.1. Blades
The ACI-2058 allows you to install and remove blades, transceivers, and power supplies
without turning the power off to the I
NTELLA P ATCH switch itself, though you must turn power
off to the appropriate blade slot before removing or installing a blade.
5.1.1. Removing Blades
To remove a blade:
1. Using the software, turn off power to the blade.
2. Unscrew the thumbscrews on either side of the blade.
3. Holding the blade straight, gently pull it towards you.
