Up to fourteen (14) SBODs can be connected while each SBOD should possess a unique set of enclosure IDs so that the disk drives within can properly operate with adequate AL-PA IDs.
- Page 65 Chapter 3: Subsystem Connection Large Capacity Configuration The configuration below uses CH2, CH3, CH4, and CH5 for making two separate dual-loops to expansion enclosures. When configured as drive loops, the onboard hub with CH4 and CH5 should be enabled. This configuration allows capacity expansion to terabytes of disk space and uses an in-band SES monitoring method that requires no additional management links.

Chapter 5: System Maintenance Replacing Controller Module Components 5.2.1 Controller Module Maintenance Overview It is not recommended to re-use the DIMM module in a failed controller unless a similar RAID subsystem is nearby and can be used to test the DIMM module. Controller module can be replaced online only with a dual- controller configuration. - Page 87 EonStor F16F-R/S4031 Installation and Hardware Reference Manual Figure 5-1: Removing Screws from underneath Ejection Levers Step 3. Remove the controller module by pressing down the two (2) levers at the back of the controller module. The controller module will automatically be eased out of the controller module bay.

Chapter 5: System Maintenance Figure 5-3: Removing the Controller Module WARNING! Unnecessary tampering with the controller module can cause severe and permanent damage. Only move the controller module if it is absolutely necessary. When replacing a controller module from the subsystem, all anti-static preventative techniques should be strictly adhered to. - Page 89 EonStor F16F-R/S4031 Installation and Hardware Reference Manual Figure 5-4: Installing the Controller Module Step 3. Secure the controller module. Once fully in serted, lift up the levers at the back of the controller module. This will ensure the controller back-end connectors are properly mated to the backplane.

Page 90: Dimm Module Replacement
Chapter 5: System Maintenance DIMM Module Replacement The subsystem comes with a pre-installed 512MB capacity or above DDR RAM DIMM module on each controller. The controller supports memory up to 2GB DDR RAM DIMM. If a memory module fails a different size of DIMM module is preferred, the pre-installed module can be removed and the new one installed. -

EonStor F16F-R/S4031 Installation and Hardware Reference Manual 5.3.2 DIMM Module Upgrade/Replacement Procedure If any of the DIMM modules fails or if the DIMM modules with a higher memory capacity are required, the onboard DIMM modules must be replaced. The DDR RAM DIMM module is installed on the back of the controller board. -

Chapter 5: System Maintenance Figure 5-7: Installing the DDR RAM DIMM module Step 3. Insert the new DDR RAM DIMM module into the DIMM socket. Align the new module to the DDR RAM DIMM socket. Once the DIMM module has been correctly aligned with the DIMM socket, gently push the DIMM module into the socket. - Page 93 EonStor F16F-R/S4031 Installation and Hardware Reference Manual Fault Conditions: A BBU failure can result from the following: 1. A BBU has lost its ability to hold electrical charge. This may be the case after the battery cells have been recharged for many times regardless of how long the module has been used.

Page 94: Replacement Procedure
If this is discovered when you first use the BBU, return it to Infortrend or your subsystem vendor. 5.4.1 Replacement Procedure To replace a BBU, please follow these steps: Step 1. - Page 95 EonStor F16F-R/S4031 Installation and Hardware Reference Manual Figure 5-9: Installing the BBU Step 4. Reset the subsystem for the new BBU to take effect. The LED should start flashing to indicate that BBU is being charged. When the BBU is fully charged, the LED will light amber constantly.

Page 96: Replacing An I/O Module
Chapter 5: System Maintenance Replacing an I/O Module The subsystem contains four (4) hot-swappable I/O modules. Each module consists of SFP sockets mounted on a circuit board that connects to the backplane. If any of these I/O modules fails and your server has an alternate link to the array, you can replace it online. - Page 97 EonStor F16F-R/S4031 Installation and Hardware Reference Manual diagrammed below. Use a medium-size Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw. (See Figure 5-12) Figure 5-12: Loosening the Retention Screw NOTE: Do not remove the wrong screw. Two screws can be found on the faceplate.

Page 98: Replacing A Faulty Psu
Chapter 5: System Maintenance Figure 5-14: Inserting the Host Connection Module Step 5. Fasten the screws previously removed to secure the I/O module to the chassis. Step 6. Connect the cabling and, if necessary, try reboot or manually issue a LIP from your application server across the links restored by the replacement module. - Page 99 EonStor F16F-R/S4031 Installation and Hardware Reference Manual Figure 5-15: Label on the PSU Handle Immediate replacement: When a PSU fails, it should be replaced immediately. However, do not remove the PSU unless a replacement is readily available. Removing a PSU without a replacement will cause severe disruptions to the internal airflow and the subsystem will overheat, possibly causing irreparable damage to some of the subsystem components.
- Page 100 Chapter 5: System Maintenance Step 4. Remove the PSU by grabbing the extraction handle and pulling the handle upwards. The extraction handle should gracefully disconnect the PSU from the backplane connectors. Once dislodged, gently pull the PSU out of the subsystem.
- Page 101 EonStor F16F-R/S4031 Installation and Hardware Reference Manual Figure 5-18: Inserting the Replacement Figure 5-19: Securing Using the Extraction Handle Step 7. Secure the PSU to the subsystem by fastening the retention screw through the PSU extraction handle. Step 8. Replace the power cord that connects the PSU to the main power source.

Page 102: Cooling Module Maintenance
Chapter 5: System Maintenance Cooling Module Maintenance 5.7.1 Notes on Cooling Module Maintenance Redundant cooling modules: The subsystem is equipped with four (4) cooling fans, two (2) within each PSU module. These cooling modules control the internal operating temperature of the subsystem and therefore their working integrity should be maintained at all times. - Page 103 EonStor F16F-R/S4031 Installation and Hardware Reference Manual Step 2. Use a small-size Phillips screwdriver to remove the six screws from the top of the PSU module. Figure 5-20: Removing a Cooling Module Step 3. Remove the cooling fan assembly by the following steps: Step 3-1.
- Page 104 Chapter 5: System Maintenance Figure 5-21: Removing a Cooling Module Step 4. Install the replacement module by aligning it with the module bay on the PSU module and gently lowering it into. The fan outlet should be aligned with the PSU faceplate and that the side with screw holes should be facing up.

EonStor F16F-R/S4031 Installation and Hardware Reference Manual Step 6. Reinstall the PSU module into chassis. When powered on, check if the fan fault LEDs are lit. If not, that means your cooling fans are operating properly. Replacing a Failed Hard Drive 5.8.1 Hard Drive Maintenance Overview Hot-swappable drive trays: The drive trays are all hot-swappable. - Page 106 Chapter 5: System Maintenance Always be slow, gentle, and careful when handling a hard drive. Handle a hard drive only by the edges of its metal cover, and avoid touching its circuits part and interface connectors. Step 1. Identify the location of the drive tray that contains a hard drive indicated as faulty.
- Page 107 EonStor F16F-R/S4031 Installation and Hardware Reference Manual Replace), and then gently and carefully withdraw the drive tray from the chassis. Figure 5-24: Removing a Drive Tray Step 5. Remove the four (4) retention screws that secure the hard drive from the sides of the drive tray (two on each side). (See Figure 5-25) Figure 5-25: Removing the Hard Drive Step 6.
