The controller module begins to boot as soon as it is fully seated in the chassis. Be prepared to
interrupt the boot process.
The controller module should be fully inserted and flush with the edges of the chassis.
Running diagnostics
After you have replaced a component in your system, you should run diagnostic tests on that component.
Your system must be at the LOADER prompt to start diagnostics.
All commands in the diagnostic procedures are issued from the node where the component is being
replaced.
Step 1.
If the node to be serviced is not at the LOADER prompt, reboot the node:
After you issue the command, you should wait until the system stops at the LOADER
node_name
prompt.
Step 2.
At the LOADER prompt, access the special drivers specifically designed for system-level
diagnostics to function properly:
Step 3.
Select Scan System from the displayed menu to enable running the diagnostics tests.
Step 4.
Select Test system from the displayed menu to run diagnostics tests.
Step 5.
Proceed based on the result of the preceding step:
• If the test failed, correct the failure, and then rerun the test.
• If the test reported no failures, select

Step 2.
Reconnect the power supply.
a.
Open the power cable retainer and plug the power cable into the power supply.
b.
Plug the power cable into the power source.
Step 3.
Return the node to normal operation by giving back its storage from the running node:
failover giveback -ofnode impaired_node_name
Note: This operation need to be performed when the impaired node shows "Waiting for
giveback...".
Step 4.
If automatic giveback was disabled, reenable it:
Replacing a DIMM
You must replace a DIMM in the controller module when your system registers an increasing number of
correctable error correction codes (ECC); failure to do so causes a system panic.
All other components in the system must be functioning properly; if not, you must contact technical support.
You must replace the failed component with a replacement FRU component you received from your
provider.
