Open a Telnet session and enter the Config Restore command to restore the 
switch configuration. Refer to 

 for more 

information. If you archived the configuration using SANbox Manager, you 
can restore the switch configuration using the SANbox Manager Restore 
function.

13.

Observe the Heartbeat LED. It should blink once per second. If the 
Heartbeat LED is showing a different blink pattern, refer to 

 for diagnostic procedures or contact your 

authorized maintenance provider.

14.

Reconnect the Fiber Channel port cables according to their labels. 
Disconnect the cross-over Ethernet cable and reconnect the original 
Ethernet cable if there was one.

You can remove and install I/O blades while the switch is operating. The following 
instructions assume that the switch is operating. If you want to maintain service to 
the devices connected to a particular blade while it is being replaced, transfer the 
Fibre Channel cables to another blade. To remove an I/O blade blank panel, 
simply disengage the latch and slide the blank panel from the switch.

To replace an I/O blade, do the following:

1.

Label the Fibre Channel port cables by port number. Ports on each I/O blade 
are numbered 0-7 from top to bottom. Disconnect the Fibre Channel port 
cables.

2.

Put on an ESD wrist strap, and connect it to the ground jack on the CPU 
module shown in 

 or some other ground point on the chassis.

The I/O blade contains sensitive logic components. To avoid 
damage to the I/O blade, do not touch the I/O blade components.

Keep I/O blades in ESD protective containers or anti-static bags 
when not in use.
