Replacing An Enclosure - R/Evolution 2000 Series Troubleshooting Manual

Replacing an Enclosure

The enclosure consists of an enclosure's metal housing and the midplane that
connects controller/expansion modules, drive modules, and power-and-cooling
modules. This FRU replaces an enclosure that has been damaged or whose midplane
has been damaged. Often times a damaged midplane will appear as though a
controller module has failed. If you replace a controller module and it does not
remedy the original fault, replace the enclosure.
To make a fully functional enclosure, you must insert the following parts from the
replaced enclosure:
Drive modules and air management modules
■
Two power-and-cooling modules
■
One or two controller modules (for a controller enclosure)
■
One or two expansion modules (for a drive enclosure)
■
To install the individual modules, use the replacement instructions provided in this
guide. To configure the enclosure, see the getting started guide. The IP address for
the controllers is maintained on the midplane. When you replace the enclosure, you
need to reset the IP address as described in the getting started guide.
