NOTE:
When an SD card failure occurs, the internal dual SD module controller notifies the system. On the next restart,
the system displayed a message indicating the failure. If redundancy is enabled at the time of SD card failure, a critical
alert is logged and chassis health will degrade.
4. Replace the failed micro SD card with a new micro SD card.
5. Install the system cover.
6. Reconnect the system to its electrical outlet and turn on the system, including any attached peripherals.
7. Enter System Setup, and ensure that the
Internal SD Card Port
and
Internal SD Card Redundancy
modes are set to the
needed modes.
Verify that the correct SD slot is set as
Primary SD Card
.
8. Check if the micro SD card is functioning properly.
9. If the
Internal SD Card Redundancy
option is set to
Enabled
at the time of the SD card failure, the system prompts you
to perform a rebuild.
NOTE:
The rebuild is always sourced from the primary SD card to the secondary SD card.
