Replace a node Take the following actions to remove the faulted node from the enclosure and install the replacement node. Before you begin CAUTION: Before starting this procedure, use the PowerStore Manager Hardware view and Alerts view to verify that the appliance and peer node are healthy with no outstanding alerts. If multiple nodes need to be removed while performing this procedure, repeat this verification for each affected node before proceeding to remove the next node. If necessary, contact your service provider before starting the replacement procedure. Identify a faulted node from PowerStore Manager Before you replace a node, ensure that you have identified its location within the system. Using PowerStore Manager, you can identify and locate a faulted node. Steps 1. From PowerStore Manager, select Hardware. 2. Select the appliance that includes the node that you need to replace. 3. On the Components card, under Rear View, expand BaseEnclosure. 4. Select the relevant Node. Faulted parts appear in red in the image of the system, and report a status of Faulted in the State field. Power down the node Power down the node as described in Power control procedures. Remove the node This procedure describes how to remove a node from the chassis. There are two nodes. The top node is considered to be upside-down and mirrors the bottom node. The procedure for removing the top node and the bottom node is the same. Prerequisites If the I/O modules and network cables are not already labeled, label them clearly for reconnecting later. About this task WARNING: Do not remove the node within five minutes of system power down to ensure that the system has had time to complete caching. CAUTION: Do not remove a node while the "Unsafe to remove" LED is lit. The location of this LED is described in Embedded module LEDs. If the LED is lit, the peer node has been powered down or is offline and this node should not be removed. CAUTION: Because nodes include cooling fans, they should be removed for as short a time as possible. Do not remove nodes from a live system unless replacement parts are available. Steps 1. Rotate the power cable retention bail to the left (right for top power supply). Disconnect the power cable from the power supply. Base enclosure service procedures 111
