Understanding Switch-Specific Commands
This procedure describes how to remove the cables from one line card, so that line card can be replaced. If you are removing cables for several line cards or all line cards, work from the upper line card down. This way, you have more working space as your task progresses.
If you are removing a cable from the switch to replace that cable, consider the following:
If you are removing a cable from connectors 0A through 5B, start the procedure at connector 5A.
If you are removing a cable from connectors 6A through 11B, start the procedure at 6A.
Note - If you are disconnecting all cables for a line card replacement, begin at connector 5A.
See the table in Servicing the InfiniBand Cables.
This cable is the upper cable.
The cable connector comes free.
Note - “A” cables stack on top of “B” cables. For example, the cable for 5A is on top of the cable for 5B.
Otherwise, go to Step 7.
![]() | Caution - Do not allow the cable to drop or strike the floor. Jerking, bending, pulling on, or dropping the cable can damage the cable. |
