Sun Enterprise 3500 System Reference Manual

Removing an Interface Board

Note -

It is not necessary to remove the interface board from the card cage to remove and replace GBICs. A GBIC may be removed and replaced "live" (without removing power from the system or board). However, the necessary software precautions must be taken whenever the I/O path to a particular disk is to be interrupted; halt all I/O activity to the disk affected by the replacement of a GBIC. To replace a GBIC or fiber optic cable, proceed to "Removing a GBIC".

  1. Unfasten any fiber optic cables from the board front panel and set them aside. See Figure 6-3.

    Label cables to identify them for reconnecting.

  2. Loosen the two captive screws securing the board to the system card cage.

  3. Pull the ends of both extraction levers outward simultaneously to unseat the board from the centerplane receptacles.
