Replacing the controller canisters
You must replace the controller canisters before you can reconnect cables to the controller and HICs.
Steps
1. Reinstall the top cover on controller A by sliding it forward until the top cover latch buttons click.
2. Slide the controller canister all the way into the controller-drive tray or flash array.
3. Rotate the release levers towards the center of the controller canister to lock it into place.
4. Repeat these steps for controller B.
Reconnecting the cables
After you replace the controller canisters in the controller-drive tray or flash array, you can reconnect cables to the controller and
HICs.
Before you begin
Verify that you have installed the appropriate host bus adapters (HBAs) in your host.
Steps
1. As needed, install SFP+ or QSFP transceivers into the new HIC ports.
2. Connect cables between HIC ports and the hosts.
3. Reconnect the cables between the controller-drive tray and any expansion drive trays.
4. Reconnect the cables between the management ports and the management station.
5. Reconnect the power cords to each controller canister.
Applying power
After replacing the controller canisters and reconnecting the cables, you can apply power to the E5600 storage array or EF560
flash array.
Steps
1. If you have expansion drive trays, turn on the two power switches at the back of each tray.
2. Wait two minutes.
3. Turn on the two power switches at the back of the controller-drive tray.
•
Do not turn off the power switches during the power-on process.
•
The fans in each tray are very loud when they first start up. The loud noise during start-up is normal.
4. Wait 10 minutes for the power-on process to complete.
5. Confirm that none of the amber LEDs on the front or back of any trays are illuminated.
