Replacing a ZS4-4 PCIe Card
Replacing a PCIe card is a cold-swap procedure, and you must remove power from
the storage controller. If you are installing a newly released HBA, upgrade your
system software before installing the HBA. All HBAs must be of the same type.
Use the following procedure to replace a ZS4-4 PCle card.
-
Go to the Maintenance > Hardware screen of the BUI, click the
right-arrow icon for the controller, click Slot, and note the ID of the
faulted PCIe card, which has an amber icon. To highlight the location of the
card in the controller picture, click on the card ID. To view details about
the faulted card, click its information icon and then click Active
Problems.
| Caution -
This procedure requires that you handle components that are sensitive
to static discharge, which can cause the component to fail. To avoid
damage, wear an antistatic wrist strap and use an antistatic mat when
handling components.
|
-
Shut down the controller using one of the power-off methods described in
Powering Off the Controller.
-
Disconnect the AC power cords from the rear panel of the storage
controller.
| Caution -
Because 3.3 VDC standby power is always present in the system, you
must unplug the power cords before accessing any cold-serviceable
components.
|
-
Extend the controller from the rack as described in Extending the Storage Controller from the Rack.
-
Remove the top cover as described in Removing the Top Cover.
-
Locate the PCIe card position in the storage controller.
-
To disengage the PCIe card retaining bar, push down on the bar, move it
away from the controller back wall, and lift it to an upright
position.
-
Carefully remove the PCIe card from the PCIe card slot.
| Caution -
Whenever you remove a PCIe card, you should replace it with another
PCIe card or a filler panel; otherwise, the controller might overheat
due to improper airflow.
|
-
Ensure the PCIe card retaining bar is open.
-
Install the replacement PCIe card into the PCIe card slot.
-
Return the retaining bar to its closed and locked position.
-
Replace the top cover on the chassis.
-
Return the controller to the normal rack position by pushing the release
tabs on the side of each rail while slowly pushing the storage controller
into the rack.
-
Reconnect all cables to their original ports, referring to the labels
previously added as a guide. For cabling details, see the Oracle
ZFS Storage Appliance Cabling Guide.
-
Reconnect the power cords to the power supplies.
-
Verify that standby power is on, indicated by the Power/OK status
indicator flashing on the front panel about two minutes after the power
cords are plugged in.
-
Use a pen or other pointed object to press and release the recessed Power
button on the storage controller front panel. The Power/OK status indicator
next to the Power button lights and remains lit.
-
Connect data cables to the PCIe card, routing them through the cable
management arm, if used.
-
Go to the Maintenance > Hardware screen of the BUI. Click the
right-arrow icon for the controller, click Slot, and verify that the status
icon
is green for the newly installed card. To view details
about the new card, click its information icon.
-
If a fault does not self-clear, see Repairing Active Problems.
-
If you replaced an HBA, connect the disk shelves to it as described in
Connecting to Attached Storage. If you
installed a new HBA, install the disk shelf as described in Installation Prerequisites and Hardware
Overviews in Oracle ZFS Storage
Appliance Installation Guide and connect the
expansion storage as described in Connecting to Attached Storage.
