b. To maintain proper airflow, make sure that the ventilation holes on thefront of the switch are not blocked.11. Make sure that the LEDs on the switch indicate that it is operating correctly(see the section "Information LEDs".)12. If you have another switch to install, repeat step 4 through step 11; otherwise,go to the next step.13. Install the SFP+ modules in the switch. For information and instructions, seethe section "Installing and removing a 10 Gb SFP+ module" and thedocumentation that comes with the SFP+ module.14. Attach any cables that are required by the switch. For additional informationabout cabling the switch, see the section “Cabling the switch and the SFP+module” on page 10, the documentation that comes with the cables, and theoptional network devices to which the cables have been connected. For thelocations of the connectors on the Flex System chassis, see the documentationthat comes with the Flex System chassis. Then, continue with the next step.15. Make sure that the external ports on the switch are enabled through one ofthe management-module interfaces, such as the Web-based interface or theCLI.Removing or replacing a switchNote: The following illustration shows how to remove and replace a switch from aFlex System chassis. The appearance of your Flex System chassis might bedifferent; see the documentation for your Flex System chassis for additionalinformation.To replace a switch, complete the following steps:I/O module Handles1. Read the safety information that begins on page v, and “Installation guidelines”on page 6.2. Disconnect any cables from the switch that you are removing. Removing thesecables (especially an Ethernet cable) disrupts the network connection from theexternal Ethernet port to any connected external Ethernet devices. If you planto replace the switch with another switch, you can use the existing Ethernetcable, provided that it remains securely attached to the Ethernet network. Foradditional information about cabling the switch, see “Cabling the switch andthe SFP+ module” on page 10, the documentation that comes with the cables,and the optional network devices to which the cables have been connected.
