Chapter 3: FRU Removal and Replacement Procedures
Replacing the Node Integrated Storage Controller

Quantum DXi6900 G2 Field Service Manual

110

Installing a Replacement Integrated Storage Controller 

To install the replacement integrated storage controller in the DXi6900 G2 Node:

1. Align one end of the integrated storage controller card with the card holder on the system board (see 

Figure 63 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 98

).

6. Close the Node cover (see 

Opening and Closing the Node on page 64

).

7. Verify the RAID BIOS settings on the replacement PERC H730:

a. Turn on the system (see 

Turning On the DXi6900 G2 on page 22

).

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. If Data-at-Rest Encryption is enabled on the system, enable the replacement PERC H730 for 

encryption (see 

Enabling Data-at-Rest Encryption on a Replacement Integrated Storage Controller 

below

).

9. Run 

Factory Detect Hardware

 from the 

Service Menu

 to detect the new hardware (see 

Factory 

Detect Hardware on page 38

).

10. 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.

Enabling Data-at-Rest Encryption on a Replacement Integrated 
Storage Controller

If Data-at-Rest Encryption is enabled on the system, additional steps are required to enable the encryption 
keys on the replacement PERC H730 controller. Until the keys are enabled on the new H730 controller, the 
system cannot boot from the boot drives.
