Replacing a switch In this section Replacing an existing switch...23 Replacing an existing switch CAUTION: Removing the switch from a powered enclosure results in the loss of network communications between the server blade network ports that are connected through this switch and the segment of network infrastructure those ports need to communicate. For continued blade server network communication and services availability before removing the switch, redirect critical high-availability services or applications to use the redundant network ports available on those blade servers that are connected through the redundant switch in the enclosure. CAUTION: Do not cable the switch until after configuration. To replace an existing switch: 1. Save the configuration file to a TFTP server for later retrieval. For more information on saving a configuration file to a TFTP server, see the HP GbE2c Ethernet Blade Switch for c-Class BladeSystem Command Reference Guide. 2. Remove and label the cables. 3. Remove the switch. 4. Slide the new switch fully into the interconnect bay. For more installation information, see "Installing the switch (on page 19, on page 19)." 5. Close the ejector lever and wait for the switch boot up completely. Replacing a switch 23

communications between the server blade network ports that are connected through this switch
and the segment of network infrastructure those ports need to communicate.
For continued blade server network communication and services availability before removing
the switch, redirect critical high-availability services or applications to use the redundant
network ports available on those blade servers that are connected through the redundant
switch in the enclosure.
CAUTION:
Do not cable the switch until after configuration.
To replace an existing switch:
1.
Save the configuration file to a TFTP server for later retrieval. For more information on saving a
configuration file to a TFTP server, see the
