Replacing the HPE SAS expander card

The following example describes how to replace the p1224 card. The general procedure is the same to
access the SAS expander card or the SuperCapacitor cache module.
Procedure
1. Power off the HPE StoreOnce System. Observing the safety and anti-static procedures, remove all
external cabling to the PCIe cards. Remove the cover from the HPE StoreOnce System, as described in
the appropriate HPE ProLiant Maintenance and Service Guide.
a. The HPE StoreOnce 3500 Series and HPE StoreOnce 5100 System may have a PCIe 10GbE
Network or Fibre Channel card in slot 1.
b. The HPE StoreOnce 5100 System may be connected to external SAS storage.
2. Remove the PCIe riser cage (for slots 1 to 3) and locate the p1224 controller card in slot 3. Detach the
cables connecting the p1224 card to the SuperCapacitor, and the SAS storage.
3. As shown in the following figure, unclip the blue retaining latch on the PCIe card (1 and 2) and remove
the PCIe card (3).

4. Install the new p1224 card (1) and check that it is seated properly. Close the blue PCIe card retaining
latch (2).
