Remove Fabric Interconnect F1-4 I/O Modules

When you are performing field replacement for one or more I/O Modules, make sure to use the lock and unlocked positions appropriately—for example, make sure that you lock the modules when you are done servicing them.

To remove a Fabric Interconnect F1-4 I/O module, follow this procedure:

1. When handling I/O modules, make sure that you are using ESD safety precautions, such as a grounding strap that is properly attached to an earth ground source.
2. Before removing an I/O module, use the XgOS to shutdown the I/O module.
3. Using a slotted screwdriver, unlock the I/O module by turning it 90 degrees counterclockwise. See (1) in Removing a Fabric Interconnect F1-4 I/O Module.
