3. Ground yourself to the system chassis using the grounding leash, turn off the
power to the system, unplug the power cords from the power source, and then
remove the power cords.
4. Remove the bezel by carefully prying it off the front of the system chassis.
5. Flip the ejector lever on the LCD display module up, push the lever to eject the
CompactFlash card, remove it and set it aside.
Installing the CompactFlash card
Attention: If you are copying the system files to the CompactFlash card using a
PC or laptop with a card writer, you must copy the system files to the
CompactFlash card prior to installing it in the controller module. See "Transferring
a boot image using a PC or laptop" on page 34 for information.
1. With the bezel removed from the front of the system, seat the CompactFlash
card by pushing it firmly into the CompactFlash reader. The CompactFlash card
should be squarely seated and should not move when you wiggle it. Reseat the
CompactFlash card, if necessary.
2. Flip the ejector lever on the CompactFlash module so that it is laying flat.
3. Reseat the bezel on the front of the system chassis.
4. Recable the power supplies, as needed.
If your replacement CompactFlash card is a blank, formatted card, go to "Placing a
boot image on the CompactFlash card."
If your replacement CompactFlash card has a software image already installed, go
to "Updating the CompactFlash card" on page 34.
Placing a boot image on the CompactFlash card
You might receive a blank, formatted CompactFlash card. Before you use it, you
must transfer a boot image to it. You can transfer the boot image to the
CompactFlash card in one of two ways:
v "Transferring a bootable kernel image using netboot"
v "Transferring a boot image using a PC or laptop" on page 34
Transferring a bootable kernel image using netboot
1. Place a boot image on the server you use for netbooting. You can copy the boot
image from the boot directory at /etc/boot/netapp-x86-64, or download it
from the IBM N series support website, which is accessed and navigated as
described in "Websites" on page xx.
2. Turn on your system and press Ctrl-C to stop the boot process at the LOADER
prompt.
3. Configure your network connection, if needed.
If you have DHCP running on your network, enter the following command:
ifconfig e0a -auto
If you do not have DHCP running, configure the connection by entering the
following command:
ifconfig e0a -addr=filer_addr -mask=netmask -gw=gateway -dns=dns_addr
-domain=dns_domain
where:
v filer_addr is the IP address of the system.
v netmask is the network mask of the system.
v gateway is the gateway for the system.
