About This Document

• Illustrations in this document may show modules or a

chassis that differ from your devices.

• The Storage Management Utility (SMU) and the

Command Line Interface (CLI) can be used to manage

the storage. Tasks in this document demonstrate using

the SMU.

• For the latest product documentation, see the HP website

at http://www.hp.com/support/manuals. Under the

storage banner, navigate to the page for your device.

• Warranties for HP products and services are set forth

in the express warranty statements accompanying such

products and services. Nothing herein should be

construed as constituting an additional warranty. HP

shall not be liable for technical or editorial errors or

omissions contained herein. To obtain a copy of the

Before you begin

Observe the following:

CAUTION: Parts can be damaged by electrostatic

discharge; use proper anti-static protection. Keep

parts in electrostatic containers until needed and

ensure you are properly grounded when touching

static-sensitive components.

Do the following before beginning these procedures:

• Schedule a maintenance window that will include time

for shutdown, sixty minutes of replacement work, and

restart.

• Verify that there is a known, good backup of the system.

• Record system settings.

• Label all cables.

• Prepare a large, stable work surface.

Procedural overview

Replacing a failed chassis includes the following key steps:

1. Removing drive and drive blank modules from the failed

chassis.

2. Removing the failed chassis from the rack.

3. Moving side brackets to the replacement chassis.

4. Moving power and cooling, controller, I/O, or air

management modules to the replacement chassis.

5. Installing the replacement chassis in the rack.

6. Installing drive or drive blank modules in the

replacement chassis.

Preparing for the replacement

1. If the controller enclosure or drive enclosure chassis is

operational, do the following:

a. Stop all I/O to the storage system that includes the

failed chassis.

b. Shutdown all array controllers in the system.

To shutdown a controller using the SMU, select the

array in the navigation tree and then select

Tools>Shutdown or Restart Controller. After the

controller is shut down, the blue “OK to Remove”

LED on the controller illuminates.

2. Turn off power and cooling module switches (if present).

3. Make sure all cables are clearly labelled and then

disconnect all cables, including power cords, from the

modules.

IMPORTANT: Use caution when handling Fibre

Channel cables:

• Touching the end of a Fibre Channel cable either

damages the cable or causes performance

problems, including intermittent difficulties

accessing the storage.

• When a Fibre Channel cable or port is not

connected, install protective covers on the ends

of the cable or in the device port.

Removing drive and drive blank modules from

the failed chassis

CAUTION:

• These procedures require that all drives be

removed from the failed chassis.

• Because drives are heavy, HP recommends

removing drives prior to moving the chassis. If

this is not possible, two or more people are

required.

• Remove drives only after confirming that all

internal movement has halted.

• As a best practice, remove drive and drive blank

modules in bay-number sequence and organize

them on your work surface in bay-number

sequence. This helps ensure that you reinstall the

modules in the same bay number from which they

were removed.

1. Press and slide the release latch button to release the

latch handle (1).

2. Rotate out the latch handle to disengage the module

from the internal connector (2).

3. Pull the module straight out of the chassis (3).

Removing the failed chassis from the rack

CAUTION: Because drives are heavy, HP

recommends removing drives prior to moving the

chassis. If this is not possible, two or more people are

required to lift the chassis.

1. Remove the ear bezels by grasping each bezel firmly

and pulling until the bezel separates from the ball nuts

on the chassis ear.

2. Remove retaining screws securing the front and rear of

the chassis to the rack and rails.

3. Remove the chassis from the rack.

4. Place the failed chassis on the work surface near the

replacement chassis.
