Note: The Dell PowerEdge MX platform gives you the ability to replace an I/O module in a SmartFabric if required. This process depends on the operating system version that is installed and should be run with Dell Technical Support engaged before starting and throughout the process of IOM replacement. For technical support, go to
https://www.dell.com/support or call (USA) 1-800-945-3355.
Note: Before beginning this process, you must have a replacement switch module or filler blade available. Never leave the slot on the blade server chassis open for an extended time period. To maintain proper airflow, fill the slot with either a replacement switch module or filler blade.
