1. Replacement Procedures – Base Chassis (continued)
1.1 Procedure to perform a Base Chassis Replacement:
See Section 4 of this document prior to this procedure.
Step 1
With the replacement chassis next to the defective chassis, the following parts will need to be
transferred to the replacement chassis:
•
8 Memory Modules (DIMMs)
•
Hard Drives. 2 SATA hard drives and 8 SAS hard drives
•
Intel RAID Controller connected to JBOD –
This RAID controller needs to go into the identical PCI-E slot within the Riser Cage of the replacement
chassis. The RAID cable will need to removed and installed in the same position as well.
•
Depending upon the type of configuration of the SIEM 9750 onsite, the following other parts will need
to be moved to the replacement chassis if they exist in the failed chassis:
o
QLogic QLE2562 8Gb Fibre Channel to PCI Express Adapter – Dual Port
o
QLogic QLE2564 8Gb Fibre Channel to PCI Express Adapter – Quad Port
Step 2
Once the previous list of parts have been installed into the replacement server chassis, power
cables can be re-installed to the machine and the Server lid/screw can be reinstalled. The replacement
server can be optionally installed into the same location where the defective machine was located.
Step 3
If a monitor is present, then connect it to the video port on the server. Power on the server.
Step 4
Closely watch the monitor for a successful
POST
of the server. Check for any errors displayed or
audible beeps from the system.
Step 5
Verify that the system boots normally with no alarms: The triangle symbol (system status LED) on
the local control panel will display this.
Step 6
If the system status LED illuminates Amber during boot, check for any error messages at boot up
on the monitor. If no error messages are displayed, then it will be necessary to extract an Intel System
Event Log to determine what is at fault.
NOTE
: Because the hard drive bays are
numbered both physically and logically, It
is very important that the hard drives be
installed into the exact same bays as
they were installed in the defective
chassis. Failure to do this can result in a
Degraded
or
Failed
RAID array.
