Once inserted, the replacement controller node powers up and goes through the automatic node-to-
node rescue before joining the cluster. This process might take up to 10 minutes.

Customer self repair

Customer self repair (CSR) is a key component of Hewlett Packard Enterprise warranty terms. Once the
failure of a hardware component has been confirmed, CSR enablesHewlett Packard Enterprise to ship
replacement parts directly to you. Parts are typically shipped overnight. CSR warranty terms and
conditions are included in the warranty statement for the product, which can be found in the box with the
product.
For more details about CSR, contact an authorized service provider or see the Hewlett Packard
Enterprise Customer Self Repair website:
www.hpe.com/info/selfrepair
IMPORTANT: Some components are not designed for CSR. To satisfy the customer warranty for
service of non-CSR components, an authorized service provider has to service the non-CSR
components.
CSR types
• Mandatory CSR parts (warranty only)—On-site or return-to-depot support for replacement of this
part is not provided under the warranty. You can install a mandatory CSR part yourself or pay Hewlett
Packard Enterprise service personnel to do the installation. A mandatory CSR part typically does not
need tools to replace, consists of a single part, has minimum cabling, and is plug-and-play.
• Optional CSR parts—You can replace this optional CSR part yourself or have it replaced by Hewlett
Packard Enterprise service personnel at no additional charge during the warranty period. Replacement
may require tools, the removal of other parts, more involved cabling, and configuration and setup
following replacement.

Guidelines for cabling

Guidelines for the minimum bend radius of the cable
Bend radius is defined as the minimum radius to which the cable may safely be bent during installation
without the risk of permanent damage resulting in excessive attenuation or even breakage.
Use the manufacturer guidelines for the minimum bend radius of a cable. If manufacturer guidelines have
not been provided, use the general guidelines provided in the following table.
CAUTION: Bending optical cables tightly can damage the internal fibers, causing signal loss,
reduced reliability, and performance problems.
IMPORTANT: Minimum bend radius is not the same as minimum bend diameter.
