Installing a Replacement Integrated Storage Controller
To install the replacement integrated storage controller in the DXi6900-S Node:
1. Align one end of the integrated storage controller card with the card holder on the system board (see
Figure 72 on the previous page
).
2. Lower the other end of the card into the storage controller card holder on the system board. Ensure that
the tabs on the system board align with the screw holes on the integrated storage-controller card.
3. Align the screws on the integrated storage-controller card cable with the screw holes on the connector.
4. Tighten the screws to secure the integrated storage-controller cable with the integrated storage-
controller card connector on the system board.
5. Replace the expansion card riser 1 (see
Replacing an Expansion Card in Riser 1 on page 97
).
Opening and Closing the Node on page 63
).
7. Verify the RAID BIOS settings on the replacement PERC H730:
Turning On the DXi6900-S on page 20
).
b. During the boot process, press <
Ctrl+R>
when prompted to enter the PERC H730 RAID controller
BIOS.
c. Verify that the RAID BIOS options are correctly set as follows:
l
Enable Controller BIOS
- Enabled
l
Enable BIOS Stop on Error
- Disabled
l
Enable Auto Import
- Enabled
d. Exit the RAID BIOS and allow the system to start up.
8. Run
Factory Detect Hardware
from the
Service Menu
to detect the new hardware (see
).
9. In the remote management console, delete any administrative alerts and close any service tickets.
Note:
After replacing the integrated storage controller, a background initialization automatically occurs
on all LUNs. This process is non-destructive, and data is not affected. However, system performance is
reduced during the background initialization, which takes 3.5–11.0 hours.
