Installation Considerations

Depending on when you purchased your Oracle Fabric Interconnect, your chassis contains either an FP-1 or an FP-2:

  • The FP-1 has long release levers that attach to a threaded standoff near the bottom of the mounting bracket's face

  • The FP-2 has short release levers that attach to a threaded standoff near the top of the mounting bracket's face.

  • New mounting brackets are required to accept the FP-2. The mounting brackets have two threaded standoff whereas the old mounting brackets have only one threaded standoff.

  • Because the new mounting brackets are required to accept the FP-2, you will need to completely unrack, then rerack the Oracle Fabric Interconnect to replace the old mounting brackets with the new ones.

  • As part of unracking the Oracle Fabric Interconnect, you will need to uncable the system and remove facility power. Consequently, you will need to schedule a service window to accommodate a service interruption.

  • Before beginning this procedure, make a note of how all the cables are connected for the Fabric Board and I/O modules to facilitate returning the Oracle Fabric Interconnect to service.
