16. Return both replaced controllers (with any empty PCIe cages and 800W PSUs installed). Refer to the RMA instructions
that came with the upgrade kit.
Upgrade to 1600W Power Supplies
If your existing controller uses 800W power supplies and HPE requires or recommends that you upgrade to 1600W power
supplies, you must install the upgrade power supplies before installing the new controller into the chassis bay. Controller
upgrade kits arrive with the 1600W power supplies if applicable to your upgrade path.
Before you begin
Important:
As part of the controller upgrade procedure, the controller must already be removed from the array before you upgrade
the power supplies.
Procedure
1. With the upgrade controller on a grounded anti-static mat, align the new 1600W power supply with the controller bay.
The power supply can be installed in either bay of the controller.
2. Gently push the power supply into place until you hear a click.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the second power supply, and then return to Step 9 to install the controller into its chassis bay.
Cabling Power With Underpowered PSUs
If you are not upgrading the power supplies in your HPE Alletra 6030 or 6050 from 800W to 1600W, as recommended by
HPE, you must adhere to the following cable rules to ensure the power is cabled in a redundant manner:
•
800W PSUs with four circuits available: This is the recommended configuration for cabling with underpowered PSUs.
Cable each PSU independently to different power circuits. This ensures that the array will survive power maintenance
activities because only one of the four PDUs will be down at a time.
•
800W PSUs with two circuits available: Cable each controller to a single PDU. With this method, if a PDU loses power,
the controller cabled to it will also lose power. The remaining controller will continue to serve data as long as it has two
operational power supplies. Any additional power supply failure will result in data being inaccessible on the array because
of insufficient power for the drive media.
