Enter the configupload command to upload the configuration to the server. Physically Uninstalling the Switch 3. Physically disconnect the faulty switch. Note These switches do not have an On/Off button; they are powered on or off by connecting or disconnecting the power cord. It is not necessary to power off the switches that are connected to the faulty switch. a. Disconnect the power cable, leaving the cable in the channel below the switch. b. Disconnect the Ethernet cable and the serial cable. If disconnecting more than one switch at a time, label each of the Ethernet and serial cables (if used) with the switch number before disconnecting. CAUTION The fiber optic cables are fragile and should not be bent to a radius of less than 0.5 inches. c. Ensure that each of the fiber optic cables are still labeled with the port and switch number. Note The exact cabling configuration shown in the diagram must be implemented in order for the FC 6164 to operate correctly. Maintenance Procedures 61
