Chassis
Replacement Procedure
Document History
The following table lists all published versions of the SilkWorm 24000 Chassis Replacement Procedure.
Caution
Inform your SAN administrator that the SilkWorm 24000 must be disconnected from the fabric for the
duration of the mechanical replacement and that root login is required.
If the switch is installed in a cabinet, ensure that the cabinet is balanced and secured mechanically and that the
removal and installation procedure will not compromise cabinet stability.
Disassembling any part of the chassis voids the part warranty and regulatory certifications. The chassis itself
contains no user-serviceable parts.

h. Connect the serial cable to the active CP card and log in as admin.
Note
The configupload command can be entered through a telnet or serial session, but you must have an
Ethernet connection between the SilkWorm 24000 and the server name or IP of the host to complete the
upload process. For more information, refer to the help configupload command or the Fabric OS
Reference Manual.
This command uploads the switch configuration to the customer-defined FTP server, making it available for
downloading if required later on. For details about this command, refer to the Fabric OS Reference Manual.

3. Record the SilkWorm 24000 values on a workstation (see step 4, next, through step 9 on page 12).
4. Record the WWN value: Enter the wwn command; then, copy the command output into a file named “config-
miscinfo.txt”.

8. Enter the supportshow command; then, copy the command output into a text file named “spptshow.txt”.
Note
The supportshow command can take several minutes to complete, especially on a serial port.
This file provides a backup of all the information that might be required by Technical Support. The information can
be used after the switch is restored to the fabric, to verify that no unintentional changes have occurred to the fabric.

2. Power off the chassis by flipping both AC power switches to “0” (LEDs inside AC power switches should turn off).
See Figure 1 on page 5 for location of switches. To maintain the ground connection, leave both power cords
connected to the chassis and to an electrical outlet.
3. Label the cables connected to the 16-port cards and CP cards, if not already labeled, to indicate how to reconnect
them, and record the connections in the “Cable Routing Tables” on page 37.
4. Disconnect all cables from the 16-port cards and set them aside. The SFP transceivers can be left in the 16-port cards
or removed. Save the cable management pillars for later use (shown in Figure 4).

Warning
An empty SilkWorm 24000 chassis weighs approximately 104 lbs (47 kg) and requires a hydraulic or assisted
lift to move.
If the SilkWorm 24000 is installed in a cabinet, ensure that the cabinet is balanced and mechanically secured,
and that the removal and installation procedure will not compromise cabinet stability.
Caution
To prevent damage to the equipment from ESD:
1. Ensure that the SilkWorm 24000 is grounded when removing or installing static-sensitive components. This
can be accomplished by leaving the power cords attached to the chassis and a power source or by
implementing standard ESD precautions, such as placing the chassis on a grounded bench.
2. Wear an ESD grounding strap when handling the CP cards, 16-port cards, and WWN card.
3. Protect the CP cards, 16-port cards, and WWN card with static bags or grounding pads while they are out of
the chassis.

If the switch is installed in a cabinet, ensure that the cabinet is balanced and mechanically secured and that the
removal and installation procedure will not compromise cabinet stability.
Do not place a SilkWorm 24000 chassis on the floor. It cannot be easily moved from the floor back onto a lift
or pallet.
1. Uninstall the SilkWorm 24000 chassis from the installation location and place it onto an extra lift or on the shipping
pallet originally provided with the chassis. If the chassis is in a cabinet, uninstall it from the cabinet, remove the rack
mount hardware according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and set the hardware aside for use with the new chassis.
2. Unpack the new chassis (see Figure 14 on page 25):
a. Use scissors to cut the two bands that encircle the packaging.
b. Lift off the lid and remove the kits and foam from the top of the chassis.
c. Lift the cardboard box off the chassis and remove the plastic bag from around the chassis.
Save packing materials for use when returning the old chassis.
d. Leave chassis attached to pallet if chassis must be transported to the installation location.
3. Transport the new chassis to the installation area, using a pallet jack or other assisted lift. If a pallet jack is available,
place the tines into the gaps under the chassis (see Figure 14 on page 25).
Doorways must be wider than 36 inches (91 cm) to accommodate the chassis on the pallet.

4. Remove the pallet brackets and bolts (see Figure 14 for location of brackets and bolts):
a. Remove the four bolts holding the chassis to the pallet, using the 1/2 inch socket wrench.
b. Remove the four brackets from bottom of the chassis.
c. Save the pallet, pallet brackets, and pallet bolts for use when returning the faulty chassis, if required.
5. Install the chassis in the cabinet or other installation location, as applicable, using a lift if necessary to raise the
chassis to the correct level. If installing the chassis in a cabinet, follow the instructions provided by the rack kit
manufacturer.
Warning
To ensure adequate cooling, install the chassis with the cable side, which contains the air intake vents,
facing the cool air aisle.
Do not turn on the power until it is time to verify hardware operation (see step 1 on page 30).
Note
To protect against AC power failure, a separate power source is recommended for each cord.
Routing the power cables out the sides of the chassis is recommended.
Caution
Do not turn the AC power switches on (set to “0”) until you verify the hardware of the system (see
“Verify Correct Operation of System” on page 33).
3. Put on an ESD grounding strap and attach it to the grounding strap connector on the chassis (see Figure 1 on page 5
for location of grounding connector).
4. Install the WWN card in the new chassis:
a. Hold the card by the handles and orient with the LEDs at the top (see Figure 11 on page 21).
b. Align the connector on the card with the connector on the chassis (the connectors are keyed to ensure correct
installation).
c. Use the Push Pad to gently press the card onto the connector until it is fully seated. The card retains slight
freedom of movement after installation.
Caution
Do not force the installation; if the card does not install easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented.
Caution
If a card is difficult to install, verify that it is aligned correctly within the card guides. Do not force the
card, as this can damage the chassis.
c. Close the ejectors by pressing in the handles toward the CP card until the ejectors lock.
The levering action of the ejectors seats the CP card in the chassis.
d. Tighten the captive screw within each handle.
e. Slide the ON/OFF switch in the upper handle up (covers the captive screw) to turn the card on.

Note
The SilkWorm 24000 can be accessed by remote connection using any of the available management tools,
such as telnet or Advanced Web Tools. Ensure that the switch is not modified from other connections
during the rest of this procedure.
Note
The ports are color-coded to indicate which ones can be used in the same trunking groups: four ports
marked with black solid ovals alternate with four ports marked with oval outlines.
The ports and cables used in trunking groups must meet specific requirements. For a list of these
requirements, refer to the Brocade Features Guide.
a. Position one of the transceivers so that the key is oriented correctly to the port and insert the transceiver into the
port until it is firmly seated and the latching mechanism clicks.
Note
Transceivers are keyed so that they can only be inserted with the correct position. If transceiver does
not slide in easily, ensure that it is correctly positioned. For instructions that are specific to the
transceiver model, refer to the transceiver manufacturer’s documentation.
Note
Cables are keyed so that they can only be inserted in the correct position. If a cable does not slide in
easily, ensure that it is correctly positioned. For instructions that are specific to the cable type, refer to
the cable manufacturer’s documentation.
Caution
Do not route cables in front of the air exhaust vent (located on the upper port side of the chassis).
The minimum bend radius for a 50-micron cable is 2 inches under full tensile load and 1.2 inches with
no tensile load.
Tie wraps are not recommended for optical cables because they are easily overtightened.
d. Organize the cables as required. To use the cable management pillars, insert the cables into the holes in the
pillars, using a separate hole for each cable. The cables can be routed to either side of the management tray or
down through the holes in the tray.
1. Create an “after” SAN profile by entering the following commands and copying the output to a text file named

Caution
If the old chassis is returned to the supplier, ensure that the packaging is strong enough to contain the
chassis and is securely fastened. If the cardboard packaging is used, you must use banding equipment to
enclose the package with a minimum of two bands around the entire package.
