McDATA® Sphereon 3032 and 3232 Fabric Switches Installation and Service Manual

Some event codes indicate a CTP card failure, as do some diagnostic 
paths through MAPs. The CTP card is not a FRU, and cannot be 
replaced. CTP card failure requires replacement of the entire switch. 
If the failed switch provides a critical singular link in the fabric, and 
that link is still operating, it may be necessary to schedule down-time 
for this replacement.

This procedure assumes that the new switch will be installed in the 

same location as the failed switch and will be configured the same as the 
failed switch.

Replacing a failed switch in an existing fabric requires the following 
tasks be done, in order:

1. Remove the failed switch:

— Ensure the failed switch is no longer carrying traffic.

Set the switch offline.

— Using EFCM, remove the switch from the fabric.

Delete the switch from the fabric, using the EFCM product 
view.

— Physically disconnect and remove the switch from the 

mounting location.

2. Set up the new switch to operate in the fabric:

— Physically mount the new switch in the mounting location.

— Verify that the new switch powers up successfully.

After successful power-on-self-tests, the green PWR LED 
remains on and all other front panel LEDs extinguish.

— Set the switch to operate on the LAN:

1. Connect a maintenance terminal to the 9-pin 
maintenance port.

2. Using Hyperterminal, connect to the switch.

3. Enter the default password (password).

4. At the C: prompt, type ipconfig and press Enter.
