Removing the Front GigaSMART Module

Use the following procedure to remove the front GigaSMART module from the node with the power on. The procedure shuts down the GigaSMART port , the sixteen 10Gb SFP+ ports (SMT-HC0-X16 )and two 40Gb ports and eight 10Gb/1Gb SFP+and SFP ports (SMT-HC0-Q02X08) on the front GigaSMART module.

For removal of other GigaVUE‑HC2 modules, refer to Module Removal and Replacement Procedure (Hot Removal).

Important: Hot removal of the GigaSMART module without following the listed steps can cause system instability and require a reboot.

Before starting, make sure you are wearing an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap.

1.   Save map rules with the following CLI command:

config text generate active running save <name.txt>

Refer also to Backing Up Running Configuration.

2. To prepare the module for removal, press and hold the H/S button, then release it. The LED will blink for a few seconds.

Note:  Pressing the H/S button is the same as issuing the following CLI command:

(config) # card slot <slot ID> down

3. Wait for the module to shut down: Rdy LED goes red; H/S LED goes solid blue.
4. Slide the module out of the chassis and store it in a static-safe location.
5. Insert the new GigaSMART module.
6. Wait for the module to come back up: Rdy LED goes green; H/S LED goes off.
7. To verify the module is operationally up, issue the following two CLI commands:

(config) # show cards(config) # show card slot <slot id>

Note:  The output of the show cards command displays the operational status of the GigaSMART Front module as up in the Oper Status field, as follows:

(config) # show cards
Slot  Config  Oper Status HW Type     Product Code  Serial Num  HW Rev----------------------------------------------------------------------
cc1   yes     up       HC2-Main-Board   132-00AN      1AN0-00E4   B1-251     yes     up     SMT-HC0-X16      132-00AT      1AT0-0151   A0-5
1     yes     up       SMT -HC0-Q02X08  132-00F7      1F70-0075   2.3-c

However, the processor on the GigaSMART Front module takes a minute to become operationally up. The show card slot <slot id> command displays the status of the card as well as the status of the processor. Issue the show card slot <slot id> command to verify the processor state in the e1 State field. You may have to issue the command a few times to watch the e1 State transition from down to up, as follows:

(config) # show card slot 1/1
Slot  Config  Oper Status     HW Type     e1 State  e2 State
------------------------------------------------------------1     yes     up           SMT-HC0-X16    down      N/A
(config) # show card slot 1/1
Slot  Config  Oper Status     HW Type     e1 State  e2 State
------------------------------------------------------------1     yes     up           SMT-HC0-X16    up        N/A
8. Apply GigaSMART licenses with the following CLI command:

license install box id <#> key
