Carefully remove the GBIC from the receptacle on the equipment. 2. Install a known good GBIC into the receptacle on the equipment. The GBIC can only be installed one way because the GBIC and the guide rails inside the Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter receptacle are keyed. 3.

Replacing a Storage Hub 12 When a Storage Hub 12 fails in an online active system: 1. Perform a normal system shutdown of the Fibre Channel Tape Controller, Storage Hub 12, SCSI devices, and the server or servers affected. 2. Remove the Fibre Channel cables and associated GBICs. GBICs and cables may be removed together with normal handling precautions. 3. Replace the failed Fibre Channel Storage Hub with a known good unit. 4. Replace the GBICs and associated Fibre Channel cables. 5. Connect the power cord and perform a power-on self-test. Normal operating mode will show green LEDs on the rear panel for active connections. Fault LEDs and vacant GBIC receptacle LEDs will remain off. 6. Restart the Storage System and the server or servers affected. Replacing a Fibre Channel Tape Controller When a Fibre Channel Tape controller fails in an online active system: 1. Perform a normal system shutdown of both the Fibre Channel Tape controller and the server or servers. 2. Remove the Fibre Channel cable connector from the failed Fibre Channel Tape controller. 3. Remove the SCSI cable connectors from the Fibre Channel Tape controller. 4. Replace the failed Fibre Channel Tape controller. Attach the Fibre Channel cable connector, removed earlier, to the connector on the controller. 5. Attach the SCSI cable, removed earlier, to the connector on the Fibre Channel Tape controller. 6.

To replace a GBIC:
1.
Remove the Fibre Channel cable from the failed GBIC. Carefully remove the GBIC from
the receptacle on the equipment.
2.
Install a known good GBIC into the receptacle on the equipment. The GBIC can only be
installed one way because the GBIC and the guide rails inside the Fibre Channel Host Bus
Adapter receptacle are keyed.
3.
Install the Fibre Channel cable connector into the receptacle on the GBIC. The GBIC and
the Fibre Channel cable connector are keyed to prevent an improper installation.
Replacing a Storage Hub 12
When a Storage Hub 12 fails in an online active system:
1.
Perform a normal system shutdown of the Fibre Channel Tape Controller, Storage Hub 12,
SCSI devices, and the server or servers affected.
2.
Remove the Fibre Channel cables and associated GBICs. GBICs and cables may be
removed together with normal handling precautions.
3.
Replace the failed Fibre Channel Storage Hub with a known good unit.
4.
Replace the GBICs and associated Fibre Channel cables.
5.
Connect the power cord and perform a power-on self-test. Normal operating mode will
