Figure 22: Removing the Module
ÊCarefully pull out the FFx-RAID controller module from the slot. Grasp the module on the knurled screw and on the bracket so that it does not tilt.
Installing occurs in reverse order:
ÊMake sure that the FFx-RAID controller module engages correctly in the plug connection on the HDD backplane.
8.1.4Adding a Second FFx-RAID Controller Module
IThe addition of a second FFx-RAID controller module may be carried-out when upgrading the simplex configuration to a dual-active configuration. The action cannot be accomplished during normal operation.
In a dual-active configuration, the two FFx-RAID controller modules must accept each other as partners. This requires both modules to have the same FW status and the same cache configuration.
ÊCheck (with SAM software) whether the FW status of the existing FFx-RAID controller module matches that of the new FFx-RAID controller module.
ÊIf the FW statuses do no match, use the SAM software to load the firmware with the status of the new FFx-RAID controller module onto the existing FFx-RAID controller module.
