Replacing The Microsd Card; Removing The Microsd Card - Dell EqualLogic PS6010 Hardware Maintenance

PS6010 Hardware Maintenance
temporarily disable the low-battery-safe policy and force the array to
operate in write-back mode. Make sure to re-enable the low-battery-safe
policy when the battery is fully charged. See the PS Series Group
Administration manual for information about cache policies.

Replacing the MicroSD Card

Each control module includes a microSD card running the PS Series firmware.
If a control module fails, remove the microSD card from the failed control module
and install the card in the replacement control module. This will make sure that
the new control module is running the correct firmware.
You can access the firmware card by sliding the control module partially from the
slot. If you completely remove the control module, place it on a surface that is
protected from electrostatic discharge.
You can partially or completely remove a control module without shutting down
the array if the remaining control module has at least one connected and
functioning network interface. If you remove the active control module (the LED
labeled ACT will be green), there will be a short interruption as failover to the
secondary control module occurs.
Before replacing a microSD card:
• Attach an electrostatic wrist strap, as described in Using an Electrostatic Wrist
Strap on page 1-5.
• See Replacing a Control Module on page 3-5 for instructions on removing a
control module.
Caution: Be careful not to damage the circuit board. Do not use sharp
instruments to remove the card.

Removing the MicroSD Card

1. Firmly push the card into its housing to release the spring mechanism
(Figure 3-6). The microSD card will be partially ejected from the housing.
