Ethernet Module Important Points to Remember for Installing a Fibre Channel Module • You must insert the Fibre Channel module only in slot 0. • Installing and swapping of Fibre Channel modules must be done BEFORE power up. If you need to install or replace a module, power down the system before you install or replace it. If you install or replace a module when the system is powered up, the system does not recognize the module. Online insertion of modules can result in a catastrophic failure. • The S5000 does not support the hot swapping of a Fibre Channel pluggable module during switch operations. Instead, you must power down the switch before removing and replacing a Fibre Channel module. WARNING: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur if components are mishandled. Always wear an ESDpreventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the S5000 and its components. 16
