VERITAS NetBackup 5330 Manual

Replacing a Fibre Channel SFP optical transceiver module in a
Primary Storage Shelf
Document Number: 146
Version: 4.2 (03/06/17)
Purpose
This document describes the process for replacing a Fibre Channel SFP optical transceiver module
in a Primary Storage Shelf.
Affected Models
• NetBackup 5330 Appliance
• Velocity 7330 Appliance
Electrical Safety
The static discharged by human bodies can damage static-sensitive components on the boards.
When installing and maintaining the equipment, observe appropriate electrostatic safety precautions
to prevent personnel injuries or device damage.
When operating a device in an electrostatic sensitive area, you must take electrostatic-discharge
(ESD)-preventive measures. These include wearing ESD-preventive gloves, an ESD-preventive wrist
strap, and ESD-preventive clothes to avoid personnel injury or device damage.
To prevent damage to the device, pay attention to the following during operations:
• Do not touch devices with bare hands because ESD from the human body may damage the
electrostatically sensitive elements on a board.
• When dealing with the server or any of the internal components, wear an ESD-preventive wrist
strap, ESD-preventive gloves, and ESD-preventive suit.

Hardware Part Replacement Procedure
Replacing a Primary Storage Shelf Fibre Channel SFP optical transceiver module
This section describes how to replace a Fibre Channel SFP optical transceiver module in the Primary
Storage Shelf. The SFP modules are located in the two RAID canisters in the center of the rear panel.
This repair can be accomplished with the storage shelf installed in the rack.
Requirements
• Replacement Fibre Channel SFP optical transceiver module
• ESD wrist strap
To remove a Fibre Channel SFP optical transceiver module
1Locate and identify the Primary Storage Shelf that has the faulty SFP module.
2Put on an ESD-compliant wrist strap or take other ESD-protective measures.
Note: The static discharged by human bodies can damage static-sensitive components on the
boards. When installing and maintaining the equipment, you must observe appropriate electrostatic
safety precautions to prevent personnel injuries or device damage.
To review electrostatic safety precautions, see the topic titled Electrical safety found earlier in
this document.
3Locate the SFP module that you want to replace. The module must be installed in one of the
RAID canisters on the rear panel of the Primary Storage Shelf.

4Remove the Fibre Channel (FC) cable that is connected to the faulty SFP module. Push up on
the cable clip to remove it.
Warning: The SFP optic module transceiver and the FC cable use lasers to transmit data. Do
not look directly into the SFP module or the end of the FC cable.
5Lift the lever of the SFP module.

5Reinstall the FC cable in the new SFP module by pushing it directly into the SFP optical module
until it clicks into place.
Warning: The SFP optic module transceiver and the FC cable use lasers to transmit data. Do
not look directly into the SFP module or the end of the FC cable.
6Replace the bezel, if required.
