Complete this task to install or replace the processor cards in
a server or expansion enclosure, either when the system is powered off or
powered on.
Use approved ESD procedures to prevent damage.
Important: When replacing a processor card in an enclosure,
care should be taken to ensure that all resources from a particular server
enclosure or expansion enclosure are reinstalled into the same physical enclosure
and in the same location inside that enclosure. Ensure that you replace the
fiber optic cables, and the Ethernet cable in the same ports
that you removed them from.
The processor cards are located in the
rear of the enclosure. One of the cards is below the rear operator panel and
above the battery backup units. The other card is located below the battery
backup units and above the system service card.
In the case of
a dual processor card replacement, you must replace the processor cards one
at a time to ensure that at least one processor card is always operating in
the enclosure. After you replace the first processor card, wait until you
can access the enclosure using the DS Storage Manager before you remove and
replace the second processor card. Do not remove both processor cards at the
same time.
- Grip the processor card with both hands to align the
resource with the slot.
- Using both hands, push the processor card into the
slot until the handle mechanism stops the forward movement.
- Push both handles in and towards the center of the
enclosure at the same time until the release button clicks. This
inserts the remaining portion of the processor card into the slot.
These images show a processor card replacement procedure.
After replacing the processor card, you must replace any
fiber optic cables that you removed from the card. The cables must be replaced
in the same ports that you removed them from. The processor card automatically
begins the process to resume normal operation. This process can take up to
25 minutes.
