Replacing the E5700SG controller

You might need to replace the E5700SG controller if it is not functioning optimally or if it has failed.
Before you begin
• You have a replacement controller with the same part number as the controller you are replacing.
• You have downloaded the E-Series instructions for replacing a failed E5700 controller.
Use the E-Series instructions for reference only if you need more details to perform
Attention:
a specific step. Do not rely on the E-Series instructions to replace a controller in the
StorageGRID appliance, because the procedures are not the same. For example, the E-Series
instructions for the E5700 controller describe how to remove the battery and the host interface
card (HIC) from a failed controller and install them in a replacement controller. These steps do
not apply to the E5700SG controller.
• You have labels to identify each cable that is connected to the controller.
About this task
The appliance Storage Node will not be accessible when you replace the controller. If the E5700SG
controller is functioning sufficiently, you can perform a controlled shutdown at the start of this
procedure.
