If you're talking about replacing the switches themselves -- good
luck!  As far as I can tell (a view shared by our in-house systems
repair group) the guts to these are sealed units.  When they break,
IBM replaces and shreads them.

Replacement price from IBM is about $240.00 each (educational
institutions get a 30% discount).  That is, that's what they were in
January.  Good luck.
