Option 2: Adding an X91148A module as a storage module in a system with no open slots
You must remove one or more existing NIC or storage modules in your system in order to
install one or more X91148A storage modules into your fully-populated system.
• This procedure presumes you re installing the X91148A module into slots 3 and/or 7.
Steps
1. If you are adding an X91148A module as a storage module in slots 3 and/or 7 into a slot that has an
existing NIC module in it, use System Manager to permanently migrate the LIFs to different home ports, as
described in
2. Shut down controller A:
a. Disable automatic giveback:
storage failover modify -node local -auto-giveback
false
b. Take over the target node:
storage failover takeover -ofnode target_node_name
The console connection shows that the node drops to the LOADER prompt when the takeover is
complete.
3. If you are not already grounded, properly ground yourself.
4. Unplug any cabling on the target I/O module.
5. Remove the target I/O module from the chassis:
a. Depress the lettered and numbered cam button.
The cam button moves away from the chassis.
b. Rotate the cam latch down until it is in a horizontal position.
The I/O module disengages from the chassis and moves about 1/2 inch out of the I/O slot.
c. Remove the I/O module from the chassis by pulling on the pull tabs on the sides of the module face.
Make sure that you keep track of which slot the I/O module was in.
