• If needed, you can turn on the shelf’s location (blue) LEDs to aid in physically locating the affected shelf:
storage shelf location-led modify -shelf-name
shelf_name
-led-status on
If you do not know the
shelf_name
of the affected shelf, run the
storage shelf show
command.
A shelf has three location LEDs: one on the operator display panel and one on each NSM module.
Location LEDs remain illuminated for 30 minutes. You can turn them off by entering the same command,
but using the
off
option.
• After replacing the boot media, you can return the failed part to NetApp as described in the RMA
instructions shipped with the kit.
If you need the RMA number or additional help with the replacement procedure, contact technical support

• You can use the following video or the written steps to replace the boot media.
Replacing the boot media in an NS224 drive shelf
Steps
1. Properly ground yourself.
2. Disconnect the cabling from the NSM module that contains the FRU that you are replacing:
a. Disconnect the power cord from the power supply by opening the power cord retainer, and then unplug
the power cord from the power supply.
Power supplies do not have a power switch.
b. Disconnect the storage cabling from the NSM module ports.
Make a note of the NSM module ports that each cable is connected to. You reconnect the cables to the
same ports when you reinsert the NSM module, later in this procedure.
3. Remove the NSM module from the shelf:
a. Loop your index fingers through the finger holes of the latching mechanisms on either side of the NSM
module.
If you are removing the bottom NSM module, and if the bottom rail is obstructing access
to the latching mechanisms, place your index fingers through the finger holes from the
inside (by crossing your arms).
b. With your thumbs, press down and hold the orange tabs on top of the latching mechanisms.
The latching mechanisms raise, clearing the latching pins on the shelf.
c. Gently pull until the NSM module is about one third of the way out of the shelf, grasp the NSM module
