Installing SFPs and fiber-optic cables

Figure 74. Installing a new RAID controller
a. Slide the RAID controller all the way into the empty slot.
b. Close both levers until the latch locks into place.
21. Install the SFPs and then connect the fibre-channel cables to their original
locations.
22. On the FAStT600 single-controller storage server (Model 6LU/6LX), turn on
power to the storage server and attached devices. For the proper power-on
sequence, see "Turning on the storage server" on page 46.
23. On the FAStT600 dual-controller storage server (Model 60U/60X, standard and
Turbo option), wait approximately one minute. Then, use the Storage Manager
client to place the controller in online state (it was placed offline in step 6 on
page 93).
Note: If the operation fails, repeat the command. If the operation fails again,
reseat the controller and repeat this step.
24. Note that on all FAStT600 models, it might take 15 minutes to a few hours for
a new battery to become fully charged. The Storage Manager client will show
the battery as failed until it is fully charged. Controller caching is automatically
disabled until the new battery becomes fully charged.
25. On the FAStT600 single-server storage controller (Model 6LU/6LX), use the
Storage Manager client to re-enable the read I/O caching setting.
26. Use the Storage Manager client to monitor the status of the storage server and
to reset the battery age.
Note: In the FAStT600 dual-controller storage server (Model 60U/60X), there
are two cache batteries (one for each controller). Make sure that you
reset the age for the correct battery.
Each RAID controller unit has two host ports and one expansion unit port. SFPs are
inserted into the ports, and then fibre-channel cables are connected to the SFPs.
For information on installing SFPs and fiber-optic cables, see "Working with SFPs
and fiber-optic cables" on page 33.
