Installing a T640 Standard SIB or Standard SIB Version B
To install a SIB into the rear of the chassis (see Figure 1):
- Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap
to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to one of the ESD points
on the chassis.
- Place one hand underneath the SIB to support it. With
the other hand, hold one of the ejector handles on the SIB faceplate.
- Carefully align the sides of the SIB with the guides inside
the chassis.
- Slide the SIB into the chassis, carefully ensuring that
it is correctly aligned.
- Grasp both ejector handles and press them inward to seat
the SIB.
- Tighten the captive screws on the ejector handles.
- Press the offline/online button until the green OK LED blinks to bring the SIB online.
- Check the LEDs on the SIB faceplate to verify that it
is functioning normally:
- The green OK LED should light steadily a few
minutes after the SIB is installed.
- If the FAIL LED is lit steadily, remove and install
the SIB again (see Removing a T640-SIB and Installing a T640-SIB). If the FAIL LED still lights steadily, the SIB is not
functioning properly. Contact your customer support representative.
- Check the status of the SIB. Issue the following CLI command:
user@host> show chassis environment sib
