NOTE: Equip yourself with antistatic protection and a replacement small form-factor pluggable (SFP +) transceiver before replacing an SFP+ transceiver in the RAID controller module. Also, see the initial setup information for the enclosure to verify LED definitions.

CAUTION: To prevent degraded performance, do not twist, fold, pinch, or step on fibre optic cables. Do not bend the fibre optic cables tighter than a 5 cm (2 inch) radius.

1.If possible, use the MD Storage Manager to create, save, and print a new storage array profile.

2.If the Recovery Guru directed you to replace a failed RAID controller module, go to step 3, else run the Recovery Guru to identify the failed component.

3.Unpack the new SFP+ transceiver.

NOTE: Ensure that the SFP+ transceiver is replaced by the same type.

NOTE: Set the new SFP+ transceiver on a dry, level surface near the RAID controller module, the RAID controller module enclosure, or the expansion enclosure.

NOTE: Save all the packing materials in case you need to return the SFP+ transceiver.

4.To locate a failed SFP+ transceiver, view the FC IN (host channel) speed LEDs on the front of the RAID controller modules. If an SFP+ transceiver has failed, both FC IN speed LEDs for a particular port are off.

If both FC IN speed LEDs are off for a particular port with a known good cable, the SFP+ transceiver must be replaced. Go to step 6.

If at least one FC IN speed LED is on for a particular port, the SFP+ transceiver is functional. The FC IN speed LEDs indicate a channel speed of 4Gbps, 8Gbps, or 16Gbps. Ensure that the speed indicated by the LEDs is what is expected.

WARNING: Data processing environments can contain equipment transmitting on system links with laser modules that operate at greater than Class 1 power levels. Never look into the end of an optical fiber cable or open receptacle.

CAUTION: To prevent degraded performance, do not twist, fold, pinch, or step on fiber optic cables. Do not bend the fiber optic cables tighter than a 5 cm (2 inch) radius.

5.If present, disconnect the fiber optic cable from the failed SFP+ transceiver.

6.Remove the failed SFP+ transceiver from the interface port.

7.Install the new SFP+ transceiver into the interface port. Ensure that the transceiver is properly seated.
