the replacement motherboard. When replacing the motherboard make sure that all items on the
old motherboard are re-installed on the replacement motherboard, for example the SAS cables
that connect to the internal disks in the server.
This chapter describes the following StoreOnce–specific activities:
If possible, obtain iLO4 license details and review the StoreOnce PCIe card configuration,
DIMM configuration and SAS cabling before removing the motherboard. These components
must be replaced in the same locations after replacing the motherboard.
After replacing the motherboard and restoring internal components to their correct locations,
reconfigure BIOS settings and iLO 4 settings during boot up.
Review and update firmware, if required. See
firmware (page
After power up, re-write warranty serial numbers into BIOS.
CAUTION:
information and user documentation provided with the server and system motherboard before
replacing the motherboard.
Before replacing the motherboard—iLO4 licenses
All products are shipped with paper copies of the iLO4 licenses. If you no longer have these
licenses and the board is still working for the iLO4 GUI connection via its management Ethernet
port, make a note of the license before you remove the motherboard. (If it is not working, contact
HPE Support.)
To identify the Activation key:
1.
Log on to the iLO4 GUI.
2.
Select the Administration Tab.
3.
Select Licensing and make a note of the Activation Key.
Before replacing the motherboard—component configuration
Before replacing the motherboard make a note of PCIe slot allocation and SAS cabling.
HPE StoreOnce 3100 System: Only one PCIe slot is used, slot 1 for the RAID controller
card.
HPE StoreOnce 3500 Series and HPE StoreOnce 5100 System: This system supports
Optional Hardware. Slots 2 and 3 are always used for the SAS expander card and the RAID
controller card, respectively, but the remaining four slots may be configured with 10GbE
network and/or Fibre Channel cards. Make a note of the configuration and be sure to re-install
the cards in the exact same slots.
HPE StoreOnce 5100 System only: If Capacity Upgrade Kits are connected, make a note
of the first in the daisy chain sequence. The cabling must be reconnected from the SAS
controller card to the correct Capacity Upgrade Kit for the server.
