Before you begin • The drive that you are installing must be supported by the NS224 shelf. NetApp Hardware Universe • If SED authentication is enabled, you must use the SED replacement instructions in the ONTAP documentation. Instructions in the ONTAP documentation describe additional steps you must perform before and after replacing an SED.

NetApp Downloads: Config Advisor Hot-remove a shelf - NS224 shelves You can hot-remove an NS224 drive shelf that has had the aggregates removed from the drives, in an HA pair that is up and serving data (I/O is in progress).
Page 16
About this task • If you are hot-removing more than one shelf, you remove one shelf at a time. • Best practice: The best practice is to remove drive ownership after you remove the aggregates from the drives in the shelf you are removing. Removing ownership information from a spare drive allows the drive to be properly integrated into another node (as needed).

5. Physically remove the shelf from the rack or cabinet. A fully loaded NS224 shelf can weigh up to 66.78 lbs (30.29 kg) and requires two people to lift or use of a hydraulic lift. Avoid removing shelf components (from the front or rear of the shelf) to reduce the shelf weight, because shelf weight will become unbalanced.

completing the following substeps. Otherwise, you are done with this procedure. a. Verify the names of the non-dedicated ports, currently configured for storage use: storage port show You can enter the command on either controller module. The non-dedicated ports configured for storage use are displayed in the output as follows: If your HA pair is running ONTAP 9.8 or later, the non-dedicated ports display in the column.
State Replace an NSM module - NS224 shelves You can replace an impaired NVMe shelf module (NSM) nondisruptively in an NS224 drive shelf that is powered on, and while I/O is in progress. Before you begin • The shelf’s partner NSM module must be up and running, and be cabled correctly so that your shelf maintains connectivity when you remove the failed NSM module.

same ports when you reinsert the NSM module, later in this procedure. 3. Remove the NSM module from the shelf: a. Loop your index fingers through the finger holes of the latching mechanisms on either side of the NSM module. If you are removing the bottom NSM module, and if the bottom rail is obstructing access to the latching mechanisms, place your index fingers through the finger holes from the inside (by crossing your arms).
