Replacing a ZS3-2 Flash Drive

Removing the USB flash drive is a cold-service operation. You must power off the appliance before you remove the USB. There will be a loss of access to the storage unless the system is in a clustered configuration.

The USB flash drive is located in the forward-most USB socket at the center rear of the motherboard, labeled USB 1, near where Riser 2 installs. Use the following procedure to replace a ZS3-2 flash drive.

1. Power off the storage controller as described in Powering Off the Controller.
2. Extend the controller from the rack as described in Extending the Storage Controller from the Rack.
3. Remove the top cover as described in Removing the Top Cover.
4. If a PCIe card installed in Riser 2 prevents you from accessing the USB drive, remove Riser 2.
5. Grasp the USB drive and pull it straight up and out of the chassis.
   
6. Position the replacement USB drive to where it installs onto the motherboard. The USB drive installs into the USB socket that is most forward. The socket is labeled USB 1.
7. Gently insert the USB drive into the USB socket.
8. If you removed Riser 2 to access the USB drive, reinstall Riser 2.
9. Replace the top cover and tighten the two captive screws.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. Connect the power cords to the power supplies. Verify that standby power is on, indicated by the Power/OK and SP status indicators flashing green on the front panel.
13. After the SP status indicator is solid green, use a pen or other pointed object to press and release the recessed Power button on the front panel. The Power/OK status indicator next to the Power button lights and remains lit.
