Removing the Hardware

The following procedure describes how to remove the HBA, if you need to do so for any reason. For detailed removal instructions, refer to your system documentation.

The hardware removal process involves these general steps:

  1. Halt the operating system and remove power from the system.

  2. Remove the HBA from the system.

To Remove the HBA

  1. Attach an ESD strap to your wrist.

    Refer to Observing ESD and Handling Precautions.

  2. Perform the following actions, based on your system:
    • Power down the system.
    • Disconnect power from the system.

      If your system documentation states that hot-plug removal is supported for this HBA slot, and Emulex OneCommandManager is in use, you must first stop the OneCommandManager process prior to attempting hot-plug removal. If you do not stop the OneCommandManager process first, the hot-plug removal might fail, or a system panic might occur. To stop the OneCommandManager process, issue the stop_ocmanager command, which is located in this installation directory:

      • Oracle Solaris - /opt/ELXocm
      • Linux - /usr/sbin/ocmanager
  3. Disconnect all cables.
  4. Remove the necessary covers and bezels from your system, as described in your system documentation.
  5. Remove the HBA mounting bracket from the system by unscrewing the mounting bracket screw or removing the clip, whichever is being used.

    You can now remove the HBA.
