Replacing a ZS3-4 PCIe Card or Riser

Language:

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.

Go to the Maintenance > Hardware screen of the BUI and click the right-arrow icon image:apply icon on the controller, and then click Slots to locate the faulted component. All HBAs must be of the same type. Ensure that you upgrade your system software before installing a newly-released HBA.

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, see ZS3-4 PCIe I/O Cards.
To replace the PCIe card:
1. Disengage the PCIe card slot crossbar from its locked position and rotate the crossbar into an upright position.
2. Remove the retaining screw that holds the PCIe card to the chassis.
3. Carefully remove the PCIe card from the connector and clean the slot with filtered, compressed air if necessary.
4. Install the replacement PCIe card into the PCIe card slot.
5. Install the retaining screw to hold the PCIe card to the chassis.
6. Return the crossbar to its closed and locked position.
To install the top cover:
1. Place the top cover on the chassis (1) so that it is forward of the rear of the storage controller by about an inch (2.5 cm).
2. Slide the top cover toward the rear of the chassis (2) until it seats.
3. Press down on the cover with both hands until both latches engage.
Push the release tabs on the side of each rail and slowly push the storage controller into the rack, making sure no cables obstruct the path of the controller.
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.
Connect 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.
Go to the Maintenance > Hardware screen of the BUI, and click the right-arrow icon on the controller. Then, click Slot to verify the status of the new component. The online icon should be green.
If a fault does not self-clear, see Repairing Active Problems.
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.
