Replacing or Adding a ZS5-4 PCIe Card
| 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.
|
Replacing or adding 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 as described in Upgrading the Software. All HBAs must be of the
same type. Use the following procedure to replace or add a ZS5-4 PCle
card.
-
Identify the PCIe card slot location.
-
If replacing a faulted PCIe card, identify the PCIe card to be
replaced.
Go to the Maintenance > Hardware section 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. If replacing a
non-faulted PCle card, note its location. To highlight the location
of the card in the controller picture, click on the card ID. To view
details about the card, click its information icon and then click
Active Problems.
-
If adding a new PCIe card, identify the correct slot location as
described in ZS5-4 PCIe Card Configuration.
-
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 server 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 PCIe card slot crossbar 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. Approximately two minutes after plugging
in the power cords, the Power/OK status indicator on the front panel
flashes.
-
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 you replaced an HBA, connect the disk shelves to its ports as described
in Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Cabling Guide. 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 Oracle ZFS Storage
Appliance Cabling Guide.
