Removal and replacement of the core switch blade (CR16-4)

Replacing a core switch blade (CR16-4)

Complete the following steps to replace the core switch blade.

ATTENTION
Follow ESD precautions.

NOTE

The CR16-4 blade is compatible only with the Brocade DCX 8510-4.

1. Open the ejectors by rotating them toward the center of the blade face. Orient the CR blade so 

that the handles are toward you.

2. Align the flat side of the blade inside the left and right rail guides in the slot with the 

components facing upwards, and slide the blade into the slot until it is firmly seated.

3. Close the ejectors by rotating them away from the center of the blade. The levering action of 

the ejectors seats the blade in the slot.

4. Power on the blade by screwing in the thumbscrews.

5. Verify that the power LED is green (might require a few seconds). If not, ensure that the core 

switch blade has power and is firmly seated and that the ejectors are in the locked position. 

6. The status LED on the new blade is initially amber and will be until POST for the blade 

completes. this may take as long as several minutes. It then turns green.

7. Connect the cables to the new core switch blade. For the 8510 models, if the QSFP cables are 

not used, make sure the rubber gaskets are in the QSFP transceivers.

8. Replace the chassis door.

9. Pack the faulty core switch blade in the packaging provided with the new core switch blade, 

and contact the Brocade DCX 8510-4 supplier to determine the return procedure.

Power supply removal and replacement

Use this procedure to remove and replace a power supply. 

NOTE

The Brocade DCX 8510-4 can continue operating during the replacement if the second 220 VAC 
power supply is operating. If the Brocade DCX 8510-4 is supplied with 110 VAC (nominal), there is a 
risk of some blades being powered off for lack of power during the replacement. 
This is why Brocade always recommends using 220 VAC (nominal).
Brocade DCX 8510-4 power supplies are 100-240 VAC, auto-sensing.
