Installing the replacement storage enclosure in the rack

This section provides a procedure for installing the replacement enclosure in its rack location.

the enclosure, slide it into the rack.
2. Using the appropriate mounting hardware, secure the enclosure chassis to the rack.
3. Using the applicable retaining screws, secure the front and rear or the enclosure chassis to the rack and rails.

Completing the process

This section provides a procedure for ensuring that the CRU components installed in the replacement controller
enclosure chassis function properly.
1. Reconnect data cables between devices, as needed, to return to the original cabling configuration:
Between cascaded storage enclosures.
Between the controller and peripheral or SAN devices.
Between the controller enclosure and the host.
2. Reconnect power cables to the storage enclosures –

Verifying component operation

1. Restart system devices by moving the power switch on the PCM to the On position in the following sequence:
a. Expansion enclosures first.
b. Controller enclosure next.
c. Data host last (if powered down for maintenance purposes).
Allow time for each device to complete its Power On Self Tests (POST) before proceeding.
2. Perform a rescan to force a fresh discovery of all expansion enclosures connected to the controller enclosure. This
step clears the internal SAS layout information, reassigns enclosure IDs, and ensures the enclosures are displayed in
the proper order. Use the CLI or SMC to perform the rescan:
