Installing the new HICs (if upgrading only the HICs)
After removing the original HICs, you can install the new HICs and the new HIC faceplates.
Steps
1. Unpack the new HICs and HIC faceplates.
2. Write down the part number printed on the controller field-replaceable unit (FRU) label, which is located in the upper-left
corner of the faceplate.
You need this number for the last step of this procedure when you send an upgrade notification to NetApp technical support.
The upgrade notification alerts NetApp that you have changed the HIC protocol and helps to ensure that you receive correct
replacement parts if you need them later.
The figure shows the location of the FRU label on the faceplate for an IB HIC.

3. Gently connect the new HIC to the HIC interface connector on the controller card in controller A.
Note:
Be careful not to scratch or bump the components on the bottom of the HIC or on the top of the controller card.
4. Hand-tighten the three HIC thumbscrews.
If you use a screwdriver, you might overtighten the screws.
5. Attach the HIC faceplate to the controller canister by replacing the four screws and tightening them with a Phillips
screwdriver.
6. Repeat these steps to install a HIC in controller B.
