Figure 3.1 ARX-2000 Back Panel — Management Interfaces During the initial-boot process described in this chapter, you can access only the serial (CONSOLE) interface. After completing the initial-boot process, you can access the OOB management interface (MGMT).

    The answers in the example are not appropriate to the following scenarios: • Replacing a defunct switch • Joining a running switch as its redundant peer • Re-installing a switch after F5 personnel performed a Manufacturing Installation on a previously-running switch (which returns a switch to its factory defaults) Later sections discuss these contingencies and how to handle each of them.

    Powering Down the ARX-2000 Powering Down the ARX-2000 You can power down the ARX-2000 with the CLI command shutdown. This cuts power from all systems except the Non-Volatile RAM (NVRAM). The NVRAM contains namespace metadata information that managed volumes are currently using. Once the NVRAM loses power from an external source, it uses a battery backup for up to 72 hours.

  • Page 61: Before You Begin

    ARX-2000 FRUs consist of the disk drives, the NVRAM battery, the power supplies, and the chassis itself. The FRUs that are accessible from the front of the ARX-2000 are the NVRAM battery and the disk drives, as called out in the following figure.

  • Page 62: Removing And Re-Installing The Front Bezel

    Appendix A Removing and Replacing FRUs The FRUs that are accessible from the back of the ARX-2000 are the power supplies, as called out in the following figure. Figure A.2 Back Panel Showing FRUs As a general rule, perform all FRU replacements on the backup switch.

  • Page 63: Replacing The Disk Drives

    Replacing the Disk Drives Replacing the Disk Drives Replacing disk drives in the ARX-2000 is a hot-swap procedure and does not require powering down the switch nor does it involve a loss of service. If you do not replace a failed drive, the system continues to run, in a degraded state, with the disk missing from the RAID set.

  • Page 64: Replacing A Disk Drive

    Appendix A Removing and Replacing FRUs In addition, each drive has an LED to the right of the drive. The LED flickers (blue) to indicate drive activity. Replacing a Disk Drive If you want to avoid a service interruption due to pulling the wrong drive or mishandling the drive, replace the drive on the secondary (backup) switch.

    CLI priv-exec mode: prtlndA# raid rebuild {disk1 | disk2} where disk1 | disk2 specifies the disk to rebuild. (The disk in bay 1 is disk1.) For example, the following command rebuilds the disk in bay 2: prtlndA# raid rebuild disk2 prtlndA# ... ARX-2000 Hardware Installation Guide A - 7...

    For more information, see RAID Management, on page 6-1 in the ARX CLI Reference. Replacing the NVRAM Battery The ARX-2000 contains one NVRAM battery located as shown in the following figure. Figure A.6 Front Panel Showing NVRAM Battery Location The system notifies you of a failed (or degraded) battery through the CLI or an SNMP trap.

  • Page 68: Replacing The Power Supplies

    Replacing the Power Supplies The ARX-2000 accommodates two power supplies — both accessible from the back of the system. The following figure shows the location of the power supplies.

  • Page 69: Replacing A Power Supply

    To bring a power supply back into full service after an error condition, remove and then re-apply AC power. (Perform this action on the power supply that experienced the error condition.) Otherwise, the amber LED state persists even after the error is corrected. ARX-2000 Hardware Installation Guide A - 11...

  • Page 70: Replacing The Chassis

    Appendix A Removing and Replacing FRUs Replacing the Chassis Some failures will require you to swap out the entire ARX-2000 chassis. This involves stepping through the following procedure which includes failing over and powering down the failed switch. copy the running config to another box somewhere and they only need to copy the global if it is a standalone install 1.
  • Page 71 18. Reboot the switch. 19. Replace the running configuration. 20. Unless the ARX-2000 is running standalone, ensure that it pairs with the active ARX. To confirm, issue the show redundancy command. ARX-2000 Hardware Installation Guide...
