Step 4: Replace a chassis from within the equipment rack or system cabinet
You must remove the existing chassis from the equipment rack or system cabinet before you can install the
replacement chassis.
1. Remove the screws from the chassis mount points.
If the system is in a system cabinet, you might need to remove the rear tie-down bracket.
2. With the help of two or three people, slide the old chassis off the rack rails in a system cabinet or
L
brackets in an equipment rack, and then set it aside.
3. If you are not already grounded, properly ground yourself.
4. Using two or three people, install the replacement chassis into the equipment rack or system cabinet by
guiding the chassis onto the rack rails in a system cabinet or
L
brackets in an equipment rack.
5. Slide the chassis all the way into the equipment rack or system cabinet.
6. Secure the front of the chassis to the equipment rack or system cabinet, using the screws you removed
from the old chassis.
7. If you have not already done so, install the bezel.
Step 5: Install the controller
After you install the controller module and any other components into the new chassis, boot it to a state where
you can run the interconnect diagnostic test.
For HA pairs with two controller modules in the same chassis, the sequence in which you install the controller
module is especially important because it attempts to reboot as soon as you completely seat it in the chassis.
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 console to the controller module, and then reconnect the management port.
3. Repeat the preceding steps if there is a second controller to install in the new chassis.
4. Complete the installation of the controller module:
