Replacing or Adding a ZS5-2 PCle Card

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 ZS5-2 PCle card.

1. 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 ZS5-2 PCIe Card Configuration.

2. Shut down the controller using one of the power-off methods described in Powering Off the Controller.
3. 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.

4. If replacing a PCIe card, disconnect the cables attached to it.
5. Extend the controller from the rack as described in Extending the Controller from the Rack.
6. Remove the top cover as described in Removing the Controller Top Cover.
7. To remove a PCIe card, swing the retainer to its fully open position, and lift the PCIe card out of the socket. Place the card aside.
   
8. Align the replacement or new PCIe card with the chassis slot.
9. Press the PCIe card into the socket.
10. Swing the retainer to its fully closed position.

    If there is resistance, check the alignment of the PCIe card bracket and try again.

11. Replace the top cover on the chassis, and tighten the two captive screws at the back of the top cover.
12. 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.
13. Connect cables to the PCIe card, routing them through the cable management arm.
14. 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 .
15. Reconnect the power cords to the power supplies.
16. 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.
17. 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.

18. 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.
19. If you replaced or installed a new HBA, connect the disk shelves to it as described in Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Cabling Guide.
20. If a fault does not self-clear, see Repairing Active Problems.
