B Replacing hardware components
Replacing or removing a controller
HP recommends that the controller be shut down before removing or replacing it. The preferred
method of shutting down the controller is through the CLI:
services <slot-id> shutdown
Where
<slot-id>
identifies the switch slot containing the controller. A confirmation message
appears. Respond with "
y
" to continue.
It is possible to "hot-swap" one module for another of the same type. That is, replace one module
with another while the switch is still powered on without interrupting the operation of the rest of
the switch ports. If the modules are not the same type, the switch must be rebooted.
CAUTION:
It is mandatory for you to wait at least five seconds between removing a controller
and re-installing it or replacing it with another.
To replace one controller with another, or to remove a controller without replacing it, use the
following procedure:
1.
Using a Torx T-10 or flat-bladed screwdriver, loosen the retaining screws securing the controller
(1 in
Figure 6 (page 21)
).
2.
Open the extractor handles (2 in
Figure 6 (page 21)
) and pull the controller out from the slot.
3.
Do one of the following:
•
If installing another module of the same type, go to
“Installation procedure” (page 7)
and begin with step 2. A switch reset is not required. The current configuration in that
slot will apply to the new controller.
•
If another controller will not be installed in the slot (the slot will be left empty), re-install
the cover plate over the slot opening using the retaining screws.
CAUTION:
For proper cooling and reduction of electromagnetic emissions, ensure that a slot
cover is installed on all unused slots.
Replacing the SSD
HP recommends that the controller be shut down before removing or replacing the SSD. The
preferred method of shutting down the controller is through the CLI:
services <slot-id> shutdown
Where
<slot-id>
identifies the switch slot containing the controller. A confirmation message
appears. Respond with "
y
" to continue.
It is possible to remove the controller while the switch is powered on.
The following procedure describes replacing the SSD in the controller. Refer to
Figure 6 (page 21)
.
1.
Using either a Torx T-10 or flat-bladed screwdriver, loosen the retaining screws securing the
controller (1 in
Figure 6 (page 21)
).
2.
Open the extractor handles (2 in
Figure 6 (page 21)
) and pull the controller out from the slot
and turn it over.
3.
Using a Torx T-10, remove the four SSD retaining screws (3 in
Figure 6 (page 21)
).
4.
Slide the SSD towards the faceplate of the controller to disconnect the connectors.
5.
Using the pull tab (4 in
Figure 6 (page 21)
), lift the SSD out from the controller.
6.
Install the new SSD into the controller by placing the non-connector side in first, then sliding
the connector side back (away from the faceplate) to engage the connectors.
7.
Re-install the four SSD retaining screws using a Torx T-10 screwdriver.
8.
Re-install the controller into the switch. Refer to
“Installation procedure” (page 7)
and begin
with step 2.
