Insert an I/O Module

  1. With the lever of the I/O module in the open position, slide the I/O module into the Drive Enclosure chassis.
    Note: Be careful not to damage the connector pins.
    Note: Notice that I/O module 0 in the DE2-24P Drive Enclosure is inverted.
  2. As the I/O module contacts the chassis midplane, close the lever and reattach the release button.
    To confirm that the I/O module is properly closed, listen for an audible click or feel the I/O module engage with the chassis midplane.

  4. Wait approximately 60 seconds for the I/O module to restart.
    When the startup process completes, the following indicators should be present:
    • The Power LED emits a steady green light.

    • The Fault LED is off.

    • All four Activity LEDs emit a green light for each SAS-2 port that has an SAS interface cable connected to it.
