Installing A Host Port Adapter - IBM DS3500 Installation, User's, And Maintenance Manual

8. Touch the static-protective package that contains the host port adapter to any unpainted metal
surface on the storage subsystem; then, remove the adapter from the package.
9. If you are replacing a failed host port adapter, skip to the next step. Otherwise, install the host port
cover that comes with the optional host port adapter.
a. Place the alignment tab/edge inside the host port cutout.
b. Secure the host port cover with two screws.
10. Align the host port adapter as shown in the following illustration. The host port will protrude
slightly from the host port cover. Because the host port cover cutout is a tight fit, you must apply
slight pressure to get the port connectors through the cutout.

11. Ensure that the host port adapter connector and the controller board connector are aligned. Do not
force fit, but use slight pressure to press the card in the connector. Then, tighten the four captive
fasteners.
12. Install the cover (see "Removing and installing a cover" on page 5-2).
13. Insert the controller into the chassis.
a. Make sure that the release levers on the controller are in the open position.
b. Slide the controller into the bay until it stops.
c. Push the release levers to the closed position.
14. Reconnect the cables that you disconnected in step 3 on page 5-9.
15. If you are replacing a failed host port adapter operation in a dual-controller subsystem, skip to the
next step. Otherwise, if a second controller exists, repeat the preceding steps for the second controller
beginning with 3 on page 5-9.
16. Turn on the storage subsystem (see "Turning on the storage subsystem" on page 4-2).
17. Wait up to 5 minutes for the Storage Manager software to recognize the controller.
18. Check the LEDs on the controller to make sure that the controller is fully operational.
19. Use the Subsystem Management window to check the status of all components in the storage
subsystem.
v If the controller is online and the Subsystem Management window indicates normal operation, go
to step 22 on page 5-12.
v If the controller is online and the Subsystem Management window indicates a problem status, go
to "Troubleshooting the storage subsystem" on page 4-6.
v If the controller is offline, continue with step 20 on page 5-12.
