7.3 Inactive Maintenance Flow


7.3 Inactive Maintenance Flow
This section describes the workflow for performing the inactive replacement of the XSCF BB control cable and the crossbar cable that connect the crossbar box to the SPARC M12-2S or the SPARC M10-4S.
Note - Maintenance is not available in the inactive/cold state for the FRUs mounted on the crossbar box. During inactive maintenance, the physical partition to which a FRU requiring maintenance belongs is stopped, but other physical partitions may be operating. Therefore, only hot maintenance can be performed with the power cord of the crossbar box connected.
Note - The maintenance workflow and procedure for the following FRUs are the same as those for active maintenance even when the physical partition is in the inactive state. For inactive maintenance of these FRUs, see "7.2 Active Maintenance Flow."
- XSCF unit

- XSCF DUAL control cable

- XSCF BB control cable (connecting crossbar boxes to each other)

- Power supply unit

- Fan unit

- Dedicated power distribution unit mounted on the rack for expanded connection
Figure 7-11 shows FRUs with inactive/cold maintenance enabled.
