Prerequisites
1. The new interface module must be of the same type as the one to be replaced. If you want to use a different type of interface module, you must contact Huawei technical support.
2. The replacement interface module is ready.
3. The interface module that you want to replace has been located.
Note:
You can locate a component in either of the following ways:
l Log in to DeviceManager, in the device view of the System, view and record the position of the component to be replaced. If the component has a location indicator, turn on the indicator. (For details about how to turn on a location indicator, see the online help of the DeviceManager.)
l Use the alarm indicator of the component to locate the component.
4. Services running on the interface module that you want to replace have been stopped.
5. The cable connection positions of the interface module that you want to replace are labeled on the cables.
Precautions
1. If the interface module to be replaced is a SmartIO interface module, remove the optical module from the interface module and insert a new SmartIO interface module into the controller enclosure. After the Power indicator of the new interface module is steady green, insert the removed optical module into the new SmartIO interface module.
2. Remove and insert an interface module with even force. Excessive force may damage the appearance or connectors of the interface module.
3. An interface module must be replaced within five minutes.
4. After you remove an interface module, wait 15 seconds before reinserting it or inserting a new one.
5. If you replace an interface module that uses Ethernet protocol with one that uses Fibre Channel protocol, the Ethernet port configuration information will be deleted, and VLANs, logical ports, and bonded ports on the original interface module will become unavailable. If you replace the interface module again with one that uses Ethernet protocol, the Ethernet port configuration information will not restore, but the VLANs, logical ports, and bonded ports on the Ethernet interface module will.
6. If you replace an interface module that uses Fibre Channel protocol with one that uses Ethernet protocol, the Fibre Channel port configuration information will be deleted. If you replace the interface module again with one that uses Fibre Channel protocol, the Fibre Channel port configuration information will not restore.
