Important
If you manually configure the platform to use specific speed and duplex
settings on interfaces, Auto MDI/MDIX functionality is turned off by default.
Additionally, when an interface is set manually, it functions as a data
terminal equipment (DTE) port. This means that crossover cables are
required to connect to other DTE devices (for example, servers), and
straight-through cables are required for connecting to data communications
equipment (DCE) devices (for example, switches or routers). Be sure to use
the correct cable type (straight-through or crossover) if you manually set
interface speed and duplex settings.

VIPRION Platform Maintenance
• Changing blades
Changing blades
The VIPRION chassis supports up to four blades. When you initially receive
the platform, the slots that can contain these blades are filled with blanks,
which are designed to protect the unit from dust and other particles when a
slot is not in use. To add a new blade, you first remove the blank from the
corresponding slot and then insert the correct blade.
Note
We recommend that you install blades into the chassis starting at the top
slot and then into each subsequent slot moving down.
WARNING
This product is sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). We recommend
that when you install or maintain the unit, you use proper ESD grounding
procedures and equipment.
The first part of this process requires that you remove the blank that is
located in the slot in which you want to install the blade. If the slot does not
have a blank, you can skip this procedure.
To remove a blank
1. Select the slot in which you want to insert the blade.
2. Turn the compression screws, located on either side of the blank,
until the locking indicator changes from green (locked) to red
(unlocked). (See Figures 5.1 and 5.2, on page 5-2.)
3. Grasp the two eject levers on the front of the blank and pull towards
you as shown in Figure 5.3.
You can now remove the blank from the slot, and add the new
blade.
5-2
VIPRION Platform Maintenance
To install a blade
1. Extend the eject levers, located on each side of the blade, into the
open position.
2. Carefully lift the blade and align the guide grooves on either side
with the corresponding grooves on the interior of the slot as shown
in Figure 5.4.
Important
Verify that the blade is aligned with these grooves; otherwise, the blade
does not seat correctly in the platform.
5-4
VIPRION Platform Maintenance
WARNING
Operating the platform for longer than 30 seconds without a fan tray can
cause permanent damage to the blades.
Note

Glossary
Glossary
blade
A blade is a BIG-IP system designed to fit into a slot of a BIG-IP blade
server chassis. Multiple blades within a chassis can work together to process
traffic from a single virtual server.
blank
A protective framework that fills a slot in the chassis normally occupied by
a blade. Blanks are used to protect the chassis and maintain airflow when a
blade is not installed.
chassis
A chassis refers to the housing component of the VIPRION platform. The
chassis holds all hot-swappable components, such as blades.
cluster
A cluster is a group of slots on the VIPRION system chassis. When you
insert blades into the slots of a cluster, the blades function as a single system
to process application traffic.
cluster IP address
A cluster IP address is a floating management IP address associated with the
primary slot in a cluster. When the blade in the primary slot is removed or
becomes unavailable, another slot in the cluster automatically becomes the
primary slot, and the cluster IP address becomes associated with the new
primary slot. You use this IP address to manage the cluster.
compression screw
A compression screw ensures that a given VIPRION component is securely
attached to the chassis. Each screw indicates by color whether the
component is secured to the chassis: green, which indicates that the screw is
secured to the chassis; and red, which indicates that the screw is unsecured.
Configuration utility
The Configuration utility is the browser-based application that you use to
configure the software.
eject levers
Eject levers refer to two levers located at the front of each blade or blank.
These levers must be fully extended to remove the blade or blank from the
chassis, and must be pressed securely against the chassis to ensure the
component is seated correctly.
guide grooves
A guide groove is a section within a chassis slot that helps ensure that blades
are installed and seated correctly.
hot-swappable
Hot-swappable refers to your ability to remove a component without first
shutting down the system. The VIPRION platform consists of several
components: blades, LCD component, power supplies, and the fan tray, that
you can replace without affecting system performance.
LCD
LCD display stands for liquid crystal display. An LCD panel is available on
the front of the platform. You can use the LCD and its associated controls to
configure the management port on the unit and view basic statistics.
LCD component
The LCD component is the hardware component that contains the LCD and
the LEDs that display power and alert status for the platform.
