3. Remove the PCIe card from the controller module and set it aside.
4. Install the replacement PCIe card.
Be sure that you properly align the card in the slot and exert even pressure on the card when seating it in
the socket. The PCIe card must be fully and evenly seated in the slot.
If you are installing a card in the bottom slot and cannot see the card socket well, remove
the top card so that you can see the card socket, install the card, and then reinstall the card
you removed from the top slot.
5. Close the side panel and tighten the thumbscrew.
Step 4: Reinstall the controller
After you replace a component within the controller module, you must reinstall the
controller module in the system chassis and boot it.
1. Align the end of the controller module with the opening in the chassis, and then gently push the controller
module halfway into the system.
Do not completely insert the controller module in the chassis until instructed to do so.
2. Recable the system, as needed.
If you removed the media converters (QSFPs or SFPs), remember to reinstall them if you are using fiber
optic cables.
3. Complete the reinstallation of the controller module:
The controller module begins to boot as soon as it is fully seated in the chassis.
If your system is in…
Then perform these steps…
An HA pair
a. With the cam handle in the open position, firmly push the controller module
in until it meets the midplane and is fully seated, and then close the cam
handle to the locked position. Tighten the thumbscrew on the cam handle
on back of the controller module.
Do not use excessive force when sliding the controller
module into the chassis to avoid damaging the connectors.
b. If you have not already done so, reinstall the cable management device.
c. If you have not already done so, reconnect the cables to the controller
module.
d. Bind the cables to the cable management device with the hook and loop
strap.
