2 When Guided Maintenance prompts you, remove the
power cords from both power supplies of the target
Slammer control unit (CU).
Important!
Do not remove the power cords from the
partner CU. That CU supports all the user data paths for
this Slammer.
3 Follow the appropriate procedure in this guide to remove
the network interface module from the target Slammer
CU.
4 Put on an antistatic wrist strap. Attach the alligator clip to
a nonpainted metal surface on the Slammer chassis.
5 Firmly grasp the specified PCI card, extract it from the
PCI slot, and set the card aside.
Insert a Slammer PCI Card
After you insert this FRU to a Slammer control unit (CU), use
Guided Maintenance to complete the replacement process.
After you add the FRU and reattach the power cords, Guided
Maintenance fails back the target CU from its partner CU.
Note: When the target CU fails back, if CIFS is enabled on
the Slammer, user data paths will pause for up to 30 sec.
Important!
If Guided Maintenance encounters a problem
during failback, you must contact Technical Support to
continue Guided Maintenance for this FRU.
As the final step, restart the Axiom system to make the
resources of the target CU available.
