Adding Input/Output Modules
P/N 300-012-213
REV 03
This document describes how to add input/output (I/O) modules to a VNXe3100 or
VNXe3150 disk processor enclosure (DPE). For information on how to upgrade the existing
I/O modules in a VNXe3100 or VNXe3150 DPE to a different type of I/O module, refer to
the document for upgrading I/O modules in a VNXe3100 or VNXe3150 system.
Before you start the procedure, refer to your EMC® VNXe™ online help (Servicing your
system > Adding or replacing faulted hardware components > Add a new hardware
component) for instructions on how to handle hardware components. Make sure you have
a matched pair of new I/O modules; you cannot install just one.
This procedure involves storage processor (SP) reboots coordinated to ensure that at
least one SP is running at all times. During an SP reboot, data will be unavailable to front-
or back-end connections that are not duplicated on the peer SP.
You add one I/O module to one SP at a time.
