Switch replacement

The following steps describe removing and replacing a switch with an identical replacement switch. For further assistance when replacing a switch, contact your Dell support representative.
NOTE:Some steps do not apply if you are replacing a different switch or non-Dell switch.
NOTE:ESD damage can occur when components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the switch and accessories. After you remove the original packaging, place the switch and components on an anti-static surface.
  1. Back up the switch configuration to your back-up system or laptop TFTP server.
    copy running-config tftp://<hostip>/<filepath>
  2. Disconnect the power source.
  3. Label and remove all cables.
  4. Remove the switch from the rack.
    Simultaneously, press in the two side-release bars on the switch and slide the switch forward.

    If you are using the fan trays or PSUs in the replacement switch, remove them from the switch.

  5. Unpack the new switch.
  6. Install the new switch in your rack or cabinet.
    For detailed installation instructions, see S5200F-ON Series switch installation.

    If you are using the fan trays or PSUs from the removed switch, reinsert them in the replacement switch.

  7. Power on the switch.
    For more information, see Switch power up.
  8. Establish a connection to the switch CLI.
  9. Confirm that the software version of the replacement switch is the same as the previously installed switch.
