5.2.4 Replacing the Controller Module

If the controller module has failed, replace a failed controller with a replacement from your vendor:

Step 1. Remove the failed controller. (See Section 0) If the DIMM module is undamaged it can be removed (See Section 0) and reused on the new controller module.

Step 2. Install a DIMM module on the new controller module. (See Section 0)

Step 3. Insert the controller module. Align the controller module with the controller module bay at the rear of the subsystem, making sure that the levers are down. Gently slide the controller module in.

Step 4. Secure the connection. Once the controller reaches the end and you feel the contact resistance, you can life up the levers on the sides. The levers will ensure that the back-end connectors are properly mated.

Step 5. Fasten the hand screws. Once fully inserted secure the controller module to the chassis by fastening the retention screws through the holes underneath the ejection lever.

Step 6. Re-attach all the cables that you previously removed. These include the cables that connect to the local network or iSCSI initiators that were previously attached to the iSCSI ports, and any cable that was attached to the RS-232C audio jack connector.
