Equip yourself with antistatic protection and a replacement small form-factor
pluggable (SFP) transceiver before replacing an SFP transceiver in the RAID
controller module. Also, see the initial setup information for the enclosure to
verify LED definitions.
1 If possible, use the storage management software to create, save, and print
a new storage array profile.
2 If the Recovery Guru directed you to replace a failed RAID controller module,
go to step 3, else run the Recovery Guru to identify the failed component.
3 Unpack the new SFP transceiver.
NOTE:
NOTE:
controller module, the RAID controller module enclosure, or the
expansion enclosure.
NOTE:
SFP transceiver.
4 To locate a failed SFP transceiver, view the FCIN (host channel) speed
LEDs on the front of the RAID controller modules. If an SFP transceiver
has failed, both FCIN speed LEDs for a particular port are off.
If both FCIN speed LEDs are off for a particular port with a known
good cable, the SFP transceiver must be replaced. Go to step 6.
If at least one FCIN speed LED is on for a particular port, the SFP
transceiver is functional. The FCIN speed LEDs indicate a channel
speed of 2 Gbps, 4 Gbps, or 8 Gbps (see "Host Channel LED
Link/Rate Indications" on page 36). Ensure that the speed indicated
by the LEDs is what is expected.
WARNING:
on system links with laser modules that operate at greater than Class 1 power
levels. Never look into the end of an optical fiber cable or open receptacle.
CAUTION:
fiber optic cables. Do not bend the fiber optic cables tighter than a 5 cm (2") radius.
5 If present, disconnect the fiber optic cable from the failed SFP transceiver.
6 Remove the failed SFP transceiver from the interface port.

Troubleshooting: Your Array
Ensure that the SFP transceiver is replaced by the same type.
Set the new SFP transceiver on a dry, level surface near the RAID
Save all the packing materials in case you need to return the
Data processing environments can contain equipment transmitting
To prevent degraded performance, do not twist, fold, pinch, or step on
