Figure 51. Removing a DDIC (1 of 2)

 shows dual-indexing of disk slots across front, middle, and back rows of a drawer.

The 5U84 ships with drawers installed in the chassis. However, to avoid shock and vibration issues during transit, the enclosure does not 
ship with DDICs installed in the drawers. An enclosure is configured with either 42 disks (half-populated) or 84 disks (fully populated) for 
customer delivery. If half-populated, the rows containing disks should be populated with a full complement of DDICs (no blank slots in the 
row). The bullet-list below identifies rows in drawers that should contain DDICs when the enclosure is configured as half-populated:

Top drawer–front row

Top drawer–middle row

Bottom drawer–front row

If additional disks are incrementally installed into a half-populated enclosure, the DDICs must be added one complete row at a time (no 
blank slots in row) in the sequence listed:

Bottom drawer–middle row

Top drawer–back row

Bottom drawer–back row

Replacing an I/O Module (IOM)

NOTE: 

Whereas the 2U enclosures support single or dual-IOM configuration, the 5U84 enclosures support dual-controller 

configuration only. If a partner controller fails, the storage system will fail over and run on a single controller module until the 
redundancy is restored. For 5U84 enclosures, an IOM must be installed in each IOM slot. For 2U enclosures, an IOM must be 
installed in IOM-slot A, and either an IOM or IOM-blank must be installed in IOM-slot B to ensure sufficient air flow through the 
enclosure during operation.

I/O module (IOM) denotes either a controller module or an expansion module. In a dual-controller configuration, controller and expansion 
modules are hot-swappable, which means you can replace one module without halting I/O to disk groups, or powering off the enclosure. In 
this case, the second module takes over operation of the storage system until you install the new module.

You might need to replace a controller module or an expansion module when:

The Fault LED is illuminated

Health status reporting in the ME Storage Managerindicates a problem with the module

Events in theME Storage Manager indicate a problem with the module

Troubleshooting indicates a problem with the module

The illustrations show IOM module replacement within the top slot (A) as you view the enclosure rear panel. To replace an IOM in the 
bottom slot (B), you would first rotate the module 180º about its longitudinal axis, so that it properly aligns with its connectors on the back 
of the midplane. See 

Figure 10. 2U controller enclosure—rear panel components (4-port FC/iSCSI)

.

NOTE: 

In dual-controller configurations featuring one healthy partner controller, there is no need to transport failed controller 

cache to a replacement controller because the cache is duplicated between the controllers, provided that volume cache is set to 
standard on all volumes in the pool owned by the failed controller.

Before you begin

Removing a controller or expansion module from an operational enclosure significantly changes air flow within the enclosure. Openings 
must be populated for the enclosure to cool properly. Leave modules in the enclosure until ready to install a replacement. If replacing both 
controllers in a dual-controller enclosure, use the ME Storage Manager to record configuration settings before installing the new controller 
modules. See 

Removing an IOM

 and 

Installing an IOM

 for instructions on installing an additional controller module.

CAUTION: 

When replacing a controller module, ensure that less than 10 seconds elapse between inserting it into a slot and fully 

latching it in place. Not doing so might cause the controller to fail. If it is not latched within 10 seconds, remove the controller 
module from the slot, and repeat the process.
