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 and the sixteen 10Gb SFP+ ports 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.

Save map rules with the following CLI command:

config text generate active running save <name.txt>

Refer also to Backing Up Running Configuration.

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

Wait for the module to shut down: Rdy LED goes red; H/S LED goes solid blue.

Slide the module out of the chassis and store it in a static-safe location.

Insert the new GigaSMART module.

Wait for the module to come back up: Rdy LED goes green; H/S LED goes off.

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   B1-25
1     yes     up       SMT-HC0-X16    132-00AT      1AT0-0151   A0-5

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

Apply GigaSMART licenses with the following CLI command:
