Remove Fabric Interconnect F1-15 I/O Modules

With the exception of the Management module, which must be installed in slot 16 of the Fabric Interconnect F1-15's module bay, the I/O modules can be installed in any of the remaining 15 slots. All I/O modules except the Management module can be installed or removed while the system is running. For information about removing and installing the Management module, see Removing and Installing the Management Module.

To perform this procedure, you will need a #2 Phillips (cross-head) screwdriver.

To remove and insert a Fabric Interconnect F1-15 I/O module, follow this procedure:

1. Before removing an I/O module, use XgOS to shutdown the I/O module.
2. Disconnect any cables attached to the module.
3. Using the screwdriver, turn the locking handle (1) located at the bottom edge of each module 90 degrees counterclockwise. See Fabric Interconnect F1-15 I/O Module Locking Handle.
